So this morning I jacked up the front and put the wheels on blocks and cleaned of the underneath of the engine casing with Jizer and Meguiars engine cleaner.
As you can see from the pics below I have some pitting developing on the casing mainly at the front, presumably from stones hits. What is the best was to deal with this, initially I thought clean with Autosol Metal polish and once good protect with high temperature clear lacquer? any advise from those that are retentive on this sort of thing would be welcome.

For gods sake Adrian, just drive the bloody thing and if it gets any worse, export it to Australia and one of us poor barstards will jump at the chance to buy it

Adrian ,
I believe that it you use this over the entire vehicle it stops not only stone chips but any water getting in as well
