its fooked...no cleaning will bring that back for a long period of time. Bead blast or paint remover and then a slight polish and re laquer if you wanted it perfect.
Hi,
It doesn't actually look that bad in reality, that photo by a previous owner, makes it look worse than it is!...
Weather permitting I will have a clean of the engine bay tomorrow and try some different cleaners and a toothbrush!
Hi,
Spent an hour and a half cleaning the lacquer off with some paint stripper and then used some Autoglym metal polish that I have, to clean it up a bit......
I wondered if wire wool would be ok to use.The Autoglym metal polish is basically the same as Autosol I think?
The worst area is on the top by the NISSAN lettering, where the metal has become dull.
