    Re: Engine bay dressing-- what do you use?

    Hyper Dressing here too. Wheel wells is also a great place to use it. To me (ive never tried it) the sonus is overpriced...you can dilute HD to what ever sheen you like. Including matte

    Do you like HD at 1:4 for engines?

    I have used Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel diluted 1:1 with excellent results. Good gloss & no greasy feel.

    Once a month I use Megs Plastic and vinyl Coating. It is a aerosol can and works well. The rest of the time I use Megs Natural Shine protectant.

    I have 2 32oz bottles of HD prediluted at all times... 4:1 and 3:1 anything less is too shiny for me.

    I must say though that the Optibond 1:1 sure looks nice on those engines! Even though I dont like shiny! WOW nice work guys
