They both look much better Thumbs up
Do the after pics have coated manifolds as they look too clean for just normal cleaning from how they were?

yeh the manifolds, fuel rail, rocker covers, coil cover etc has all been sanded back, primed, painted. Silver and dark ford grey, looks very nice in the flesh.

cleaning products wise was a large tub of engine degreaser by a company called Gunk (well named :ll) which worked wonders, as well as some plastic trim cleaner and a lot of wiping down!
