Cleaned the engine bay now need some shine

[jlineman]

There is probably a thread on this somewhere but my question is....I spent quite a bit of time cleaning the engine bay with a good APC and am now looking for something that I can spray in there that will add some shine, last a reasonable time and not something that is real greasy that will gather dust This is just a 4.3 V-6, hardly any chrome....I just want it to look nice

Appreciate any suggestions

Any dressing should work fine. I will sometimes use tire foam on engines because most of it has a little cleaning abilty, and it will work into places thats otherwise hard to reach. Naturally you have to spend some time wiping everything down, but it does work well.

I've had good results with Gunk Engine Shine and CD-2 Engine Detailer.
For the hoses etc. I like using Vinylex. It has a nice look & is water based.

I get mine at either Advanced Auto parts or Autozone locally.

Another vote for CD2. If you can't find it 303 does a nice job as well.

CD-2 on the engine. Vinylex on the hoses. Quick, easy & does a nice job.

Sonus motor and trim Kote blows them all away. Looks great, last many months and dries to the touch!!

I've always used tire shine. Seems to work pretty good..

How is the dust attraction with this?

Ive always been a fan of meg hyper, but it does seem to attract the dust.

It dries, so it is unlike tire dressings that stay somewhat wet and hold dust.

I have been using Adams SVRT and In and Out Spray. It does a great job of leaving a nice factory fresh look

I guess if Todd agrees it must be good. Didn't think anything could be better than CD2 for a engine dressing.
