Just wandering what products are best for the plastics and rubber hoses etc?
Would like to get them to come up like new again.

Shoe polish? That's fookin funny mate!

Be sure to apply the AG stuff sparingly as it can get a little greasey.

303 Aerospace Protectant - simply awesome. Once the engine is clean and dry, simply spray on, leave for 4-6 hours to evaporate off, job done. More info here...
