SteveMB6 Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 There was some acid substance that went on it first, just bits like the block/gearbox and inlet manifold. Then some other stuff that lifted the dirt, not sure what that stuff was. Then powerwashed off and it was shinin!Really happy with the result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
