Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

After an inspiring look at some of the cars on display at Ragley yesterday, I've got an urge to clean my engine bay. Other than avoiding getting electrics wet, has anyone done this and got suggestions of what to use for cleaning. Thanks, Barry

POST 2Original post

I picked up a trick from a valeter at my local Indy. He uses Autosmart histyle described on their web site as HIGHSTYLE - Our most versatile dressing. Leaves a weather resistant finish for all tyres, vinyl and plastics, inside and out. Unbeatable gloss and lustre. Whatever. I bought a trade drum of the stuff and squirt it liberally on a cold engine. Then just leave it ..... or wipe away the excess if you feel the need. It brings everything up shiny and new. Use it on tyres and plastics too including under bonnet plastics and hoses. Only complaint is it kills the bubbles when you next wash the car but wont affect you if you use it on the engine only. Its never affected the starting ability of the car either. Lasts for absolutely ages. I had my 911 valeted recently and he took one look under the bonnet and was stunned lol. He thought I must have been polishing and cleaning for hours.
