I have a Magiglo Open coals gas fire and the fire back and coals are looking a bit gray and tired (like me). What is available to rejuvenate the fire's appearance?

Nothing, as this due to the flames burning process.
New coal and fireback.
'Back to Black' spray?

For the fire back, black lead is what you need. It has been around for many years and is still a very effective rejuvenator. As a child I had the job of black leading my grandmother's hearth and oven.

coals probably need replacing.
The fire back is some sort of asbestos-like material - moulded a bit fibrous.
Please ignore my suggestions. ;-)
