Default Engine bay dressing

Anyone use an engine bay dressing or cleaner that brightens things up without turning the engine into a dirt magnet?(sticky)

there is a product called bare bones by Chemical Guys. It is an undercarriage dressing for any black or dark parts.. firewall etc...plastics and rubber etc.. well wells.. it is not sticky and makes things look brand new. Look up chemical guys on the internet and try it out.

In the past I used Adams products. Leaves a shine with no residue.

For the engine I used "In and Out Spray". It does a great job on hoses and other black parts.

Are you back in Montana?

Lee,

I use Turtle Wax Ice interior:
http://www.turtlewax.com/shop/produc...tectant-20-oz-
You can pick it up at the Zone, Wally World, or most other auto parts stores. However I don't use it on my interior. I use it on my tires and on the underhood plastics and hoses. It cleans and does not attract dust while not having a shine. I am not much on "shine" I want it clean. Any metal I tend to use WD40 however you WILL attract the dust...

-Daniel

I am currently using a product called "Trim Shine" by Stoner on the underside of the hood and on the air dam in front. O Reillys auto parts has it. Seems to be pretty decent so far. On my moldings I used Mothers Back to Black and then Aerospace 303. Use the Aero 303 on the inside of wheel wells too - not real shiny but makes em slick so stuff won't stick to it..
