Something i can spray on or rub in? Any product names?
Regards
Hugo

Re: Engine bay question
Kiwi liquid polish works wonders on black bits.
used it on all my rubbers on the car and no need to worry about dust collection like silicone sprays collect

Re: Engine bay question
Thanks dude but i'm looking for something a little bit easier to apply. Really don't have the time to go over every little black pipe and wiring loom manually.

Re: Engine bay question
Don't laugh, but dirty engine oil actually works quite well 
Clean it off nicely afterwards tho, otherwise dust likes to stick to it.

Re: Engine bay question
Any silicon based spray i can maybe try? Don't mind if it gets a little dusty. The car only gets driven once a month so it won't collect that much dust anyway...
