Engine Dressing?

Joeypete · July 31st, 2009, 11:54 PM

Just curious to see what products you guys use for engine dressing. I'm not sure what really works on it. Want to shine up my rubber and plastic pieces.

After I clean and wash my black plastic wheel wells I use black shoe polish to make them gleam so brightly that you have to wear dark glasses

....Armoral on the hoses... Pat Y. told me to use a paint brush around the engine...it gets into small places easily....use similar paint brush for cleaning wheels around lug nuts etc....

Sweet! Ok cool, wasn't sure armoral was ok to use on there. I stopped using it on my interior because I heard it can cause more damage than good. I use leather conditioner now...it actually works great...keeps the shine forever and isn't greasy at all.
