Electrical cables hose come up nice if wipe with a cloth moistened in thinners. When the engine paint is dry spry the wire with WD_40 to leave a glossy protective cot. Metal cables and linkages that operate parts such as the heater valve and throttle control will usually clean up with a small and find wire brush. They can look tacky if painted, but they can be smartened using aluminium paint on a cloth and wiping it along the cable a give it a new look.
Renew defective hoses. If they‘re good, but dowdy, tidy them by rubbing black tyre paint in to them with the paint on a cloth. Hose clip can look messy when painted, so clean them with the wire brush or preferably fit new once new hose clips always make and engine look smart and well cared for. Check electrical specialist on the internet for fancy tubing, hoses and pipe work. This stuff is available in many colours, plus stainless steel or chrome. It’s handy for tidying groups of cables or for straight replacement of pipes and hoses.
But be careful what you choose. Chrome and bright colours won’t look right in a standard Land Rover engine bay if the whole show is to be blinged, then fair enough, otherwise consider how it will all harmonies for a balanced appearance.
