well after a while you will wear away all the laquer and then they will not look like new, the whole point of these products is they're made with the intent of not wearing away at the clear laquer coating. | |

Can you make a tarnished bare alloy cylinder head shine again? | |

use autoglym engine and machinery cleaner followed by autoglym vinyl and rubber care, use cling film on stuff like alternator and coil first and disconnecting the battery wouldnt go a miss. | |

you'll need to bag up a few things first.. like alternator, plugs, distributor, battery etc.. stick a plastic bag and an elastic band round 'em | |
