I’ve tried a few. Solvol Autosol, Peek, Belgom alu, Autoglym. They all work, some better than others, and some need a lot more elbow grease than others. I’m not a big fan of electric polishers, a bit too much on the mop and it splatters everywhere. Finally settled on White Diamond which will be familiar to readers of Old Bike Mart. It’s a two pack product so you have to go over the car twice but easy to apply, easy to buff and a mirror finish. That’ll do.

Just had an hour out in the car after winter layup. Checked over and car ok, bit of bloom on aluminium from the constant damp weather even in garage. My decision of filling with Esso E5 for layup proved a good choice. Started first time with no spluttering experienced with leaving E10 in the tank for a few months. Need better weather to fettle car, and do some more local trips out.
