Anyone know the best way to look after the engine bay carbon on Strads/Scuds/Speciales to keep the gloss?

I fear that regular polishes may do more harm then good when exposed to the high temperatures they inevitably get exposed to.

It's not that difficult, by a DA, practice on some scrap metal and you will pick it up in no time.

Go to scrap yard and buy a second hand bonnet. biggrin

TBH - A DA is very easy to use, I got the hang of it without practice!
