Most dealerships actually just shoot it with tire shine

I'll hit with various products, tire shine on rubber hoses, wax on anything painted

mike i do not suggest you use dressing on yours being on gravel. your motor will turn brown unless you want to do it for a show or something
ohh no it just be for shows, its pretty clean now sence i swapped motors i cleaned everything lol

about a year ago i detailed one the the town police cars. they wanted it done for the labor day parade. well i told them if they thought they were gonna be on gravel i wasnt going to put dressing on the motor and tires....well they insisted that i do it so i did.....2 weeks later they had to bring it back cus the tires were brown and the motor was covered in gravel dust they didnt think that one out too well.

I like mine clean but dont like the wet look like it has from the dealer. I just clean it all up with a rag and a cleaner/degreaser. I may try this cd2 detailer spray frank posted.
