I just detailed my engine using a pressure washer for the first time. Fun! It has variable pressure from 400 to 1600 lbs, so it's easy to use on everything! Great when washing for getting into all kinds of places.
Anyway, I detailed the engine with Megs Plastic and Vinyl and used PBoys QW on the paint. Worked great, but I'm concerned about how the Megs will stand up to the heat?
Anything that would keep everything a nice silky black and withstand all the heat? Here's a couple pics:

Also, I was stunned at how nice the QW worked and also cleaned off the black marks from the rubber on the inside of the hood!
Here's a couple exterior after 2 coats of Natty's Blue:

Nice job bro, looks great. I hope the dressing hold up for you, I think it will. I can tell you, 303 will hold up to the heat.

Thanks Sparkie.

Do you know how the 303 would work on the black plastic exterior trim? I used to use Lexol but can't take the oily residue anymore. But the black isn't as black as it used to be with the Megs.
Though I still like it on the interior (or at least till I get some Wolfgang).

303, DG#201, fk1, Megs#40 and Pinnacle vinyl & Rubber dressing will be dry, not oily.

Thanks again Sparkie. I've added the 404 protectant to my birthday discount shopping cart!
