    My engine dressing durability after 3 weeks.

    Here is a picture of my engine after I cleaned it 3 weeks ago. At the time it was cleaned with DP's Engine Degreaser, let dry, and then dressed with Zep All Around. It's been raining the last 2-3 days and yet my engine looks like I just cleaned it. I'm surprised myself. I did not wipe the engine for anything before taking the picture.

    What the engine looked like the day I dressed it:


    And what it looked like as of 5 minutes ago:

    Very nice, good to see the products holding up. I detailed the engine bay in my Lexus a wile a go but since I hardly drive it, it still looks the same. But I maybe drive it twice a month or so...so ofcourse it will maintain the look.

    Not really. When the weather warmed up last week, I got a few calls. But overall, still nothing.

    Sweet job! I used Armor All tire foam and baked my engine and it still looks amazing after a few months. What Zep product was used for under the hood and where did you get it at? Thanks!
