So, just cleaning the underside floor and sides etc with the usual Autosol, and wondering if I can apply anything that might make it easier to clean in future.Polish springs to mind, but that's just a guess.Any experienced ideas?AnthonyEllie Boon article mentioned by GJT http://lowflying.lotus7.club/2018/2018_07_06_Polish.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted July 3, 2022 Area Representative Share Posted July 3, 2022 Anthony, in the archive there is the perfectionist's approach by Elie Boone July 2018 edition.or live with the road warrior look! Even though I have seen the car close up, I had forgotten they were aluminium and not steel. But then my stainless steel protectors are far from pristine.

anthonym Posted July 3, 2022 Author Share Posted July 3, 2022 Well, just getting carried away for the import test second attempt . I'll find Elie's article. Sounds perfect. Yes lovely, sandpapering is the way to go.Currently wondering how one gets in to the many nooks and crannies, for example behind the wheels where all the arms join up. Jet washing at home being illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
