Detailed the engine (Looks INCREDIBLE) using tire foam BUT...

question is... can I use the "tire-foam trick" on the front (plastic pony) grille on the front of a mustang (anything I need to be aware of... how do I protect the font bumper cover.... if I have to protect it at all??)

I must say that the engine looks like it could basically pass as an "off the showroom floor" in ANY car show out there even with 30K miles on the clock (WOW) UNBELIEVABLE!! I did notice that I really need my pipes chroming or power coating though... looking closely, they stand out like a sore thumb!

30k already damn. I would use something like 303 Protectant on the grille.

She's not bad for 3 year old car... honest!

How u suggest I apply the 303, with a paint brush... (those angles are difficult to get to with a towel of any kind)?

I had to use a round paint brush and dip it in a cap filled with the 303. That how I got my dads grills on his sky.

Re: Detailed the engine (Looks INCREDIBLE) using tire foam BUT...

problem with tire sprays, silicone. Before long the area will look worse as it attracts more dust/dirt.

Do you know if F21 has silicone or is it a water base dressing?
