I've noticed on more than a couple of mustangs that there is usually a grease pencil mark on the airbox. Here's a pic of one:
Just a tip to getting those off. Take a good general purpose cleaner/degreaser (i.e. Formula 409) and apply it pretty liberally to the mark and use a soft toothbrush to work it into the crevices of the plastic. It may take a couple of applications, but it should come pretty clean. Afterwards take a good revitalizer and clean the airbox. The one I use for everything on the bullitt is Mothers Back to Black
I use this on just about all the black trim minus the tires. It is a wipe on/let dry/wipe off product that stands up to rain a lot better that Armor All which has a tendency to put oily streaks on the paint after getting wet. Back to Black makes the mirrors and cowl look better than new. It also helps keep the external weatherstripping looking awesome. I usually get a little on the paint when I am applying it, but a good flannel detailing towel gets it right off.
Another great product I use for polishing any evil marks on the Bullitt is The Wax Shop Safe Cut
It is a great paint/plastic polish that will take out minor scuffs and blemishes on paint and plexiglass/plastic like the clear guage cover. Just be sure to apply some new wax over any newly polished paint.
Hope this helps anyone struggling with keeping there Bullitt spotless.
