nasoup Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 (edited) Clear coat laquer, you can get it in a can from halfrauds. I polished my hks intake this weekend and laquered that and it looks the business:D Just make sure that you warm up whatever your spraying first Edited October 30, 2010 by nasoup added pic (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) After polishing with Auto Solvosol, I give it a squib of WD40 and a light wipe. Once a month is enough to stop the winter salt from eating my wheels, keeps the alloy engine parts bright, lubricates moving parts and 'nurishes' plastic. Love the stuff. Just be careful not to get it on any balance weights as it dissolves the glue. Edited October 31, 2010 by David P (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Metal polish and soft cloths to clean and restore shine(try to find a non abrasive cleaner) followed by a good quality wax to protect from the elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
