Whilst checking my oil earlier I was greeted by this mass filth after around 20mins of elbow grease, 4 cloths and some autoglym It's not perfect as it was a quick run through before next time, but I need some heavy duty s**t to get through this heat shield grime, all recommendations welcome, except the silly ones

I took mine off and painted it in satin black high temperature paint when I did my calipers.

There's a photo in my garage but not too clear. Will try and dig another one out if you need one. I should have painted the manifold at the same time, would have been a nicer job It was only 2 10mm bolts to remove it IIRC

Failing that AutoSol and a polishing cloth gets those up lovely, but requires quite a bit of patience and elbow grease. You can get a really nice mirror effect on the heat shield again with that.
