Exterior on this car was already immaculate but I still polished and waxed it and touch up of some stone chips.

Picked the car up this evening and I just want to say a big thank you to Sudesh for doing such a superb job with the car.
The guy is such a pro and the attention to detail is mind boggling!
Decided to replace the plugs on my own car. Car was running fine but I wanted to check the plugs and coils anyway as I'm doing some other work.
Removed the old plugs which had had some discolouration and plugs in general were pretty poor.
I ordered new NGK plugs so will have them tomorrow.
I also checked the condition of the coils and found a little surface corrosion on 2 of the rear coils.
I cleaned these down and removed the surface rust.
I also decided to replace the seals on the covers:

Sudesh, that coil was in a bad way, was this from the back bank near the bulk head? This is where water can leak in and cause corrosion over time.

Hi,
It was from NO:1 bank which is the first one towards the rear of the car not the bulk head, the bulk head coils are all like new. The NO:1 and NO:2 coils had corrosion. Although it looks bad in the pic, its actually more surface rust, and a couple of blasts with contact cleaner and scotch pad cleaned it right up. I tested them all for OHM level and all are perfect.
From inspection, the seals have perished slightly, so I have new one s on order, I also wonder why they didnt put seals on both ends of the covers as the covers are indented the same, so I might experiment and put 2 seals on both covers.

Some people have said that dielectric grease will keep all moisture out and help avoid any future corrosion.
YMMV.

Thanks Ary!
I read on prime that SOS [back in 2006] were going to make a cover that was sealed on the top and bottom but didnt see anything for sale on there site:
