Looking to improve / restore the external condition of my Heater box. What's the best way to do this and what product to use. Assume they were never painted but were a Fibre reinforced plastic. Looking for a clean original look and not overly restored.

I've haven't really touched mine,just maintained it,and make sure all heater controls all lubricated,and work well.
I wash the top box by hand,with hot water and soap, with a sponge,and dry it off with a old towel.I keep it the factory look.
Regards John.

I have tidied couple up by cleaning / scouring the surface with steel wool then painting with clear polyester resin.
this will seal up the surface give it gloss and cover the fibres.
the housings are made of fibre glass and the surface breaks down and crumbles away as dust,
no gelcoat by the look of it
I have also repaired them by fibreglassing

Thanks for the feed back guys. Don't want to paint but keep an original look and protect from deterioration. After cleaning may do a trial with a clear coat.
Cheers
