Have yet to detail out my engine, but looking to do so soon.

I'm sure a good cleaning will darken it up a good bit, but I'm looking fro that new engine blackness.

What is the best stuff to use to get and keep that black wrinkle coat jet black without leaving it like a sticky wet dust target?

 

s100 engine brightner

 

ive used their s100 corrosion stuff that came with my little kit in the past , it does a good job - ill have to check out the stuff leo is talking about, seems to be made exactly for that.

I dig the S100 cleaner and use it when i do wet wash.

Do you know the process for using the engine cleaner? Put it on manually or spray? And does it come off chrome ok afterwards?

Thanks

 

It does look like the ticket....

Thanks Leo, will check out.

 

after u wash, wd40 on a rag and wipe on your wrinkle black.

results are the same as the s100 but less goes further and it's cheaper.

 

By the way, for anyone else who likes to keep their rides lookin sweet:

I use this stuff on my truck and bikes...for all the black plastic trim parts. Pricey but that little bottle lasts forever and works great!

Considered that, like any oil. However, given the stuff doesn't dry easily I would think it would make it one big dust collector when rolling.

 

i've never had that problem, or never noticed it anyway.

plus, thats why i spray it on the rag and then wipe the engine with the rag.

that way you don't saturate your engine in wd40, it coats nice and evenly and dries up just fine.
