Well i had the car since October last year and at last its finally coming together and thought it was about time i gave it a good clean, so on Saturday i attacked it with the cleaning stuff, its still work in progress but The Red Devil is getting there looking very aggressive in the garage  exhaust pipes cleaned up real nice  and the old girl polishes up pretty good imo and i like the colour even more now.   engine bay, needs a bit of polishing on the paint but defo getting there.  and the dash is looking a lot better, just need a new steering wheel  Thanks for looking Ralph

You can clean up the wheel with black shoe polish - make sure you leave it a few days (or more) to soak in and then buff it off or you'll get black hands ;^)

Well worth it though and much better than trying to get a new one as it retains some of the patina of the original. And it was a lot cheaper too
