The "slickness" sure does make an easy job of cleaning under that "bonnet".........

Er yeah sorry the odd English term creeps in once in a while I'll try and say "hood"!
I'd be interested to see some pictures if you get the chance - particularly in places where there are seams or joints in the metal. My car has loads of seam sealant all over it - which was why I went for the mat look. I thought that a high gloss finish over such an uneven surface would look worse than some of the sealant jobs I've seen around baths and shower trays... I'd be interested to see how it is done on your car or even if you have the stuff there at all - it could have been a Swiss after thought in 1981 when the car was born...
