Cleaning the engine and red intake on a Ferrari 360

The red crackle paint intake plenum on my Ferrari 360 were dirty so I tried cleaning them up after seeing other 360's where they were nice and bright red.

Petrol on a toothbrush didn't make much different and is nasty to work with, so on recommendation I used AutoGlym Engine Cleaner (purple logo bottle) from Halfords. It also gets good reviews from other owners http://reviews.halfords.com/4028/153353/reviews.htm

It worked a treat and really brought the colour out on the red as well as quickly cleaning other engine areas such as the engine cradle frame - and it smells of oranges :) I used a toothbrush to work it in once applied and a clean cloth to wipe the dirt off.



I also used some 1200 grit wet'n'dry on the Ferrari logo to polish out the light surface corrosion built up over ten years. Enjoy.
