Hi Welcome to SAU & Posting a thread!

I'd

i) make sure there's no leaks or seepage anywhere and give yourself a whole day to proceed.

ii) spot-spray degreaser but with all your electrics exposed, I'd wipe it off - and not hose it off. Baked on stains on chrome or aluminium bits can be removed with Subaru Carbie Cleaner

iii) apply Amour All equivalent such as Armour Kote from a $2 shop and again use plenty of rags as in ii). For under the bonnet, just start off with this product.

iv) apply Meguiar's Quik Detail for finishing touches.

v) don't drive in the rain lol

Cheers - Hope this helps. Tez

PS Some people who've inspected and then bought my cars have said, "You can eat off this!"

+1 ^

also get some tyre black and use it on all you hoses ( radiator hoses etc. ) brings them up like brand new and leaves them with that wet look..

I was cleaning my wheels today, with jiff.. they came up okay gonna paint my brakes on saturday.

I am pretty sure I have degreaser, but if not I'll just put armour all on little shiney bits =]

Hi Ashleigh,

Do you notice fine swirl marks on the bottom of your ktchen sink? Jif does that to your wheels as well as the sink! I'd go over your wheels with Canauba Wax to stop brake dust from getting past the coating & into those swirls or scratches.

BTW don't paint your brake calipers pink - some male dogs wee on them!

Spay your engine with silicon spray after degreasing it. Then wipe it down, this will make everything look brand new!!

if you were just talking about washing it, then use simple green and spray it off. do it while the engine is warm, but not hot. now, unless you want to do it again the follwoing week, dont coat it with something thats going to attract a ton of dirt.

now, if you were talking technical, and you want to hide some wires and hoses, youll have to get creative. log onto honda-tech.com, and search the "wire tuck engine bay thread" youll be pretty amazed that some of them even run.
