I am taking advantage of the mild dry weather to clean and protect the car against salt and other nasties during the coming months. I have pulled all the wheel arch liners, cleaning everything and applying ACF 50. Some advice would be useful please
1. I am spraying the ACF on from a plastic bottle. Do I wipe it down or just let it dry.
2. There are some electrical boxes in each rear wheel arch behind the liners. Do these need to be shielded or just not soaked (I assume they are fairly robust given their positioning)
3. With the car jacked up and level, is it safe to remove the diagonal braces that go from just before the wheel across to the back of the gearbox? These were nice alloy extrusions on the 987, but on the 981 they are pressed steel with narrow channels which catch loads of dirt and stones and are a pig to clean out. It would be much easier to sort them off the car and then replace.
One of those satisfying jobs that takes a lot of stress off using the car through the winter.
