Engine bay question

Post by Kaktus »

Hey guys
I am looking for a product that is available from any local midas or autozone etc. that will make all the black bits black again in the engine bay.. All the black plastics and pipes etc...
Something i can spray on or rub in? Any product names?

Regards
Hugo

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

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. :smile:

Don't laugh, but dirty engine oil actually works quite well :-)

Clean it off nicely afterwards tho, otherwise dust likes to stick to it.

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... :razz:
