Default What do you use on your backbox???

I'm about to put up for sale a couple of back boxes (Prodrive and a TSL one).

Both are in great condition with no dents but I'd like to give them a good clean and polish before I take some pictures.

So whats the best way to get that sparkly look??

I use Meguiars All Metal Polish which does a nice job on mine.

Will these products also remove carbon build-up from burnt oil ?

I must have several litres of 10w-40 burnt onto my Milltek backbox before the engine got fixed...
