Here's some pics of a Dodge Durango I did a while back. This was my first experience with SG.

This was accomplished using 1ZPP, AIO, and SG. Notice the actual color change in the last two pics.
 
I actually use the same process to detail an engine on every car I do, and I've been doing it for years with excellent results. I first soak the whole engine with Westley's Bleach White 50/50 with water and agitate with a stiff wheel well brush making sure to get any built up grease or crud, then rinse with the strongest stream of water possible and let it dry while I detail the rest of the car. By the time I'm done with the rest of the car, the engine is completely dry and ready for dressing, which happens to be none other than Armour All Tire Foam. I foam up the whole engine really good and let it soak in for at least 15-30 minutes. Once it's dry, I take a dry rag and wipe all the excess off. Works like a charm every time and the labor required is minimal.
 
JDookie, about 10 years or so ago I was looking at the 396 in my 67 Impala SS (car is gone now) and came up with the idea to try tire foam on it, my buddies thought I was nuts, but it worked like a champ. Just wondering why you use Westley's Bleach White? I guess diluted like that it would be cheaper than Gunk engine foam.
 
I use Bleach White because it works just as good as an engine cleaner and doesn't leave that nasty residue all over everything and it cleans all the plastic better than anything I have found yet. What can I say, it just works and it's simple. Spray it on, scrub just a little bit on the dirty spots and rinse it off. No oil stain on your concrete or anything.



I absolutely love Tire Foam for the engine. I don't use it for anything else, and the great thing about it is it clean while it shines so it kind of does a lot of work for you.
