I bought it just this past winter and it had been neglected for quite a while. I had to clean a mouse nest out of the radiator. I thought I'd never be able to lift the hood in public (Without spending a fortune and a lot of time). I bought the Armorall and applied it the way Rob described. The wheel wells and inner fenders were especially grey and nasty looking, even after washing. I used a rag to spread the foam and things started looking better. Hoses showed an immediate improvement. The fenderwells took a second application before they showed any real improvement. The payoff was the third time for the fenderwells, and that was a week later. Now a quick touchup is all it takes to make things look really nice. The aluminum still needs work, but that's wire brush territory. Thanks, Rob for sharing your tip. Now the underhood area looks as nice as the rest of the car. I tried the Armorall tip on my 93 Convertible. I bought it just this past winter and it had been neglected for quite a while.
