Some of the ally parts on my engine are oxidised - alternator, brackets, inlet manifold etc. I've painted the inlet manifold with smooth hammerite, and I'm happy with that, but has anyone any ideas how to remove the oxidation from the other parts?

I've had two cracks at cleaning the chrome and the bodywork strips, windows, doors etc. My second shot today, using Solvol has made them cleaner and brighter, The grille, bumpers, hub caps and mirrors - which I assume are chromed look great. All the rest, the window trim, panels trim, which...

I'm in the process of deblinging the car, and looking to sell on the removed parts. Essentially, all the centre console, gear shift knob / surround, ashtray cover, and roller blind as shown in the photo. I've had a troll around on E-bay, but can't find anything to set a benchmark price...

Having spotted aluminium rot on the bottom of the doors of my CL500 I contacted MB Customer Service, who advised me to take it to a local dealer for an inspection. I've just done that and, during the inspection, they measured the thickness of the paint with a micrometer. It was significantly...
