Well I thought I'd give my engine bay a quick cleanup. Used Chris's favourite, Tyre Dandy foam, and also some Autoglym Super Resin Polish on the stainless bits.

Wow, what a difference, and how quick it was ! If I spend a bit more time next time, I'm sure I can get it even better. Wish I'd taken a "before" pic now, but here's the "after" (sorry, just noticed that the photo isn't the best) :

Thanks. I just copied and pasted the IMG tags from Photobucket exactly as I would have done on LOC. Are you sure you didn't copy and paste the address of just the thumbnail ?
