.........best i've found is Autosol  :happy2:. If there really bad you might need to use a very fine wire wool 00.00 grade along with the polish but try it on it's own first. :smiley:

The List could be endless,,, Depending on what you want...
Power
Handling
Brakes
Cosmetic looks
Oem+
Aftermarket

My 1st mod was a Cold air intake, then brakes, handling mods.
Then to back things up for more power  :happy2:  Dv, Exhaust, a good service etc....
After that some cosmetic mods  :happy2:

Everyone to there own, it's just the way i did it  :laugh:

Your best value for money would be IMO a CAI, re-map, engine mounts, exhaust, WALK.
