I'm not sure about shiny black wheels.<br>Polishing a red car can prematurely age it especially as the older paint jobs do not have any laquer protection.<br>I stoped polishing months ago as l noticed the appearance of a faded area on my bonnet exactly the same shape as the turbo manifold beneath.<br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :\ --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ohwell.gif ALT=":\"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Zip wax hand wash and leather dry makes people think l've had it resprayed at first glance, so l'm happy. <p></p><i></i>

Stefan,<br>What is the best way to clean your engine without mashing the electrics. Is it worth disconnecting the battery?<br>Any hints, methods and products would be appreciated! <p></p><i></i>
