First time done this, my 197 is near 4yr old.

Took cover off on the wipers and mark it for right place to put it back on later.


Shocking!!! it very dirty & block drain Lucky no damage or leak interior, phew!





Right start cleaning!! use Autoglym brush with TFR & water to wash off. (Yes that my hand lol)


All clean, paint the bolts in silver for now cos they were getting abit rusty so I have to order some new one soon. And also been wax/protect all round.



Put some cream on black bits & all the cover back on.

Beware you must check your cos if the drain block and can do some damage or leak in the interior.

Next job - cleaning front archer & paint front suspension.
