Does anyone have any idea how to detail/clean our wrinkle black valve covers? Is there anything we can spray on it to make it look new?

 

Simple green.

 

sand it down and repaint it with some high heat paint. id do it to match car color

 

mine was dried and a little dusty lookin, scrubbed mine down w a toothbrush and mild simple green mix and/or tire foam, wipe down, then i put 303 aerospace protectant on w a small lint free cloth (old sock) or microfiber or something. looks great, holding up pretty good for a week or 2 now.
not sure how bad yours is but you can try that

 

Hey beerbudget,

Do you have any pics. I am very interested to see how it turned out. Might try it this weekend. Thanks.

 

i heard nail polish remover works well. never tried it though.

 

ok noob here, hope this works

the one with the side view showing the dizzy, thats about how dirty/dusty the engine bay was. actually left the vcover alone until a couple weeks ago since didn't know if i wanted to paint or not. decided that the paint already on it was still vg condition so i just detailed it.
i scrubbed down the bay w simp gr/water, degreased eng, then sprayed 303 aerospace prot all over, wiped down w mf cloth.
the 303 is excellent imo since not too greasy and doesn't seem to pick up dust and stuff. left the dizzy like that since i wanna change cap n wires sometime soon (my motivation) plus didn't want to take any chances messing near the ignition stuff, though i prob coulda done it anyway.
i can't take credit for all this, i saw it on teamintegra or someplace but i forget right now, need to give the site i saw it on some props.
ok found it
