Justin:
What did you do to the engine compartment, IE; How did you clean/de-grease it and what did you apply as an LSP to the compartment paint and rubber pieces??

Just curious: Why a McKee`s37 sealant and not a higher-end show-car worthy wax? It looks great in the pictures, though and I have seen Mike Phillips use this identical sealant on a metallic yellow Lamborghini with stunning results.

Also, What do you use as a water-to-product ratio for Meg`s Detailer Line D170 Hyper Dressing on tires? I ask because the tires in some photo`s look "glossy" and not "natural" for a show car and does this "sheen" wear off over time to become a more natural look?

The engine just got a quick wipe down with a quick detail spray. He redid the engine bay while the engine was out being rebuilt.

Not big into high end waxes TBH. It was either High Def Paint Sealant or IGL Premier silica based sealant.

I do 50/50 mix with hyper dressing. It will dull down over time. If this was a concourse type vehicle it probably wouldn`t have got much of a dressing at all. Being it`s a driver and goes to local cruise ins I do the typical Hyper dressing mix. Actually he was thrilled about the tires and wanted a gallon of Hyper dressing lol.
