Well done David (as always)

Awesome work on an awesome car Drool

Why do the gloss black parts always seem to be worse than the rest of the car Thinking

Cheers,
Paul

Soft plastics would be my guess. Most often they also correct easily so I think it is purely down to their comparitive hardness vs the paintwork.

Tell me, how much work goes into cleaning the tailpipes and rear box with the Alutech and what does the Alutech cost?

Depending on how bad they are it could be 20 mins, or it could take over an hour. If the outside of the pipes are knackered I usually opt for an abrasive pad in and out followed by a light polish with ALutech.

Newer pipes that are still nice and neat on the outside are typically cleaned with APC and then polished with Alutech on an oldish microfber towel. The inners almost always get the abrasive pad treatment followed by Alutech to bring back some of the shine.

Thanks David. Abrasive pad?
