Recently acquired a lowish miles 169 as a run about
I am a sad man and like to clean the under bonnet area, i noticed that all the engine bay paint is 'flat' almost as it it has no lacquer on.
Anyway trying to clean the area proved difficult, tried polish, it worked to a degree, so tried some very diluted truck wash and a soft brush, that worked better but where i rubbed a few marks i could see the paint transferring to the rag, bl**dy hell. anyone had the same issue, used the same stuff on my 13 plate Class without issue
