Engine detailing product - recommendations?

[MTHall51]

I am wondering if there is such a thing as a spray on and leave it product that will shine metal, plastic, hoses etc? After steam cleaning or power washing the engine bay, is there something you can just spray on? I used to use a product by Stoner but now can't find it anymore. Any ideas?

Most here use Stoner's Tire Shine or Armor-All.

Klasse AIO --- painted parts
303 Protectant --- Lines and rubber tubing
DP Exterior Cleaner --- wipe down dirty area's with damp towel

I usually just spray some tire foam on there and let the engine bake for a little bit and than open up the hood and wipe off the excess.

I got the stoner spray at Autozone about 2 years ago. Now they are telling me it is not around. I haven't seen the Instant Shine. Is that available online only?

I use AA tire foam.

Might have been CD2?

The Stoner's was likely More Shine Less Time. They have since shortened it to just "More Shine". Pep Boys and many auto stores carry it if you're looking for a local outlet.

CD2 Engine Detailer meets your description exactly.

I'll look for the CD2. So far I have cleaned the engine bay, then sprayed some Stoner trim stuff on it. Next I'll clean off any sticky residue. Then will try CD2. Is Sonus some fairly hard to find brand, other than on Internet?

Big Al (Al-53) was telling me about Duragloss #265, what I understand it's about like CD2. I'm going to give it a try.

I just bought the Stoner's More Shine at my local Advance Auto Parts not more than 2 weeks ago. I used it on my engine detailing after a degrease and wash and it came out great. You can see the results in this thread:

this product looks good on the engine..but the engine area has to be dry for best performance...

I have 6 cans of CD2 I bought last year when Advanced auto was selling it out at 1.99 a can...I seen a few posts a while back on using the DG 265 as a engine detailer..so I tried it when I washed the engine area down...its just like CD2...just spray on and walk away....just watch the over spray that can fly out the sides....or out the cowl area...lol....but wipes of paint and glass no problem if you get over spray...
