Default Samco Hose

My red Samco air duct has become very dull looking. Any of you waxers out there have any tips on how to get the shine back??? I have cleaned it but the red is really dull. Thanks....

Do you have a picture of your engine with red Samco hoses
Is you engine silver powder coated or gray?
Did you get all red Samco coolant hoses?

I just noticed....you have a white 90' . Those red Samco hoses must look spectacular with a white powder coated engine

Hey Bob

I use 303 aerospace on mine and they always seem to shine. Don't know if you've tried that yet. Has something actually stuck to the surface of the hoses? Seems unlikely the way you look after her.

I think that I tried using some type of cleaner and it was the culprit for the dull finish. I think I have some of the 303 so I will give it a try. Upper 20's here today and some of the snow is melting. Probably be driving in a month or so..... Say "hi" to Hil for me and Emma.

Non-silicon friendly cleaner? That's a pain. Good for you with the weather though, hope it keeps up! Still way too cold here, though next week is supposed to be warmer. Don't think we'll be out before April at the very earliest.

The 303 only cleaned it. Didn't shine. I just tried the Zaino tire dressing and it put a little shine. Says to put on another coat for more shine (for tires). I am still on a quest
