Scuttle Panel Removal And Refresh

Post by ttr » Mon May 21, 2018 9:38 am

Eh up All,
Decided my scuttle panel needed to come out and required a good clean in the corners and to check the drain holes were clear.
Removed the panel easy enough and on cleaning realised how bad the plastic had discoloured.
As some of you know I used Carpro dlux, its not cheap but works, cleaned up the scuttle applied the dlux and the results are spot on, hopefully get at least 12-16 months from one treatmnet.

Funny enough was thinking about your motor when I did this!

It does look better though now it’s done
