I can do the install of the Exo I ordered on the painted panels of the car but how do you put it on something like an engine bay? Spray it on and wipe it off? Really would be hard to wipe off all the cracks under the hood?

Why would you want to use EXO (expensive) on your engine? Why not use In and Out, CD2, Meg's Hyper Dressing or even a foam tire spray.

Im actually in the process of making a new thread about the capabilities of Exo.

Exo can be applied to pretty much any surface and give great results. So far i know it works on:
-Body Panels
-Trim
-Weather Stripping
-Glass
-Carpet

Now the question comes in as "Should you be using Exo for all of that?"

Now I would say no to putting it in your engine bay, 303 aerospace makes a better and more cost effective product for trim and weather stripping. Also you dont have to worry about wiping it off. Its an easy product to use.

With Exo too, spray it onto a MF, then wipe it onto the area you want to seal, then leave it to dry, less product waste.

Also you are going to want to throw out the towel that you used to apply the Exo with. I've tried to wash them, it never really came out and it ruin some other towels in the wash.

Hope this helps :)

I saw a guy on FB using it on a motorcycle....great looking results....cost isn't that much of an issue to me if it reduces the time I have to spend on it.



Here is the pre pic of the car before Exo is going on it....this weekend I'm hoping.

If you want ease of use Exo is the way to go, apply it to all the exterior surfaces on the car. On a TT I am guessing it will take roughly 5-10 minutes on the entire car, 303 aerospace on the engine bay, roughly 2 minutes to apply (when wet), then you just it dry, no wiping.

If you want more gloss, apply a wax on top of the Exo, really pops
