Double congrats--I'm imagining Opie hanging from one of those Mission Impossible harnesses like Tom Cruise to polish the roof--what did you do up there?

Gave my FJ's engine bay some love.

After a thorough cleaning, I found some old cans of CD2 Engine Detailer I had laying around so decided to use it vs HyperDressing this time as it's been years since I've used this product. Forgot how nice and durable the finish is after driving it around for 20 minutes and letting it bake in.

After a dusty ride all I'll do is foam cannon with mixture of shampoo/APC, rinse, quick blow off of excess water and then hit it with HyperDressing. Pretty easy approach to keep this clean.

How old is that? Maybe I'm thinking of the Meg's EngineKote(?) that they discontinued 20 years ago.

I have fond memories of Engine Kote especially on wheel wells

You were always more ambitious than me, Bill.

At least 10 yrs or more I believe, and nope EngineKote was a different product.

I remember when they announced they were discontinuing it a lot of people on this forum raided whatever stock they could find. In my case, a nearby store had it on clearance for $4/can so I bought a bunch.

Requires a bit more prep than HD, but it sure produces a nice result. This should provide a nice base and then use HD for in between deep engine bay details..

Love the Griots sprays. I also have Speed Shine at the top of my QD list. Smells like the screwball ice cream things I used to get from the ice cream trucks as a kid. Great shine, no issues. I probably never need to look for another QD.

Cool pics with Barry/Mike, Ric! I met Barry in Detroit years ago but I didn’t want to ask for a picture. Kind of wish I would have lol.

Everyone’s cars are looking great. Too cold for me to do anything today.
