nicest thing to do is pvc sleeve it all. but this would require it all to be reconnected. so a long job.

Can get some heatshrink stuff, or you can get some cloth loom tape which seems to give a nice finish.

pvc sleeving is the best stuff, it has the same type of finish to it as heatshrink. but as it does not shrink it doesn't look bad when it shrinks around wires. leaving a smooth finish to the loom. just google it

Not quite, I use heatshrink. My supplier is www.polevolt.co.uk
It's not ideal for tidying interior looms though, as it often won't fit over connectors. Convoluted tube or fibre mesh are much easier for that. I don't like the fibre mesh for engine bays, because if it gets oil in it, it's impossible to clean and it doesn't support the wires very well.
