Engine Detailing
if you get a water based dressing you can water it down more to keep the shine down. i dont like the really greasy wet look either.
Frank, what do you use to "clean" anything first ?? Is the CD2 available at say O'Reilly, or Auto Zone ?? That is what we have here.

Ugh, I hate living on gravel. I normally spray it with water, simple green and wax all of my painted stuff. The key is to dry it off. And I suggest you avoid the engine shine products, it will leave a white residue.
Here is an older picture of mine after some detailing, since then I painted the radiator support though.

I think it might have been the majic or whatever brand, in the red and black can. Looked amazing at first but all of my black started to look grey until I wiped it off.
