Hi,
Has anyone found an easy way to remove the awful yellow laquer from the engine and engine bay of a an E30? The only thing I have found so far is steel wool and lots of time!
Thanks Mark

It's called Cosmoline. Zymol make a product specially designed to remove it.
Thanks for the info, found their shop online.
Cheers Mark
Be forewarned: If you remove it, the bare aluminum underneath will star t to corrode. On my E30, I had to paint the valve cover, because I didn't like the corrosion that was forming.
