Default S4 Detail part 2. Engine Detail

Im going to alter this a little.
Since using this product I have noticed that all the "overspray" from the Engine gloss has landed all over the car. Car has a rough feeling all over.
If you use this product I would tell you to use it outside and to cover the car before using.
The can neglects to mention this.



Products used.

Griots Engine Cleaner.

Griots Engine Gloss.


I wont bore you with the photos of the wash.
Warm the engine. Spray with Griots Engine Cleaner. Work it in with a brush.
Let it sit for a few mintues and rinse off.
I dried it with my leaf blower.
Mask off the paint.
Griots Engine Gloss is like spray paint. So keep that in mind and you will do fine.
Here are some before and after photos....

After:

Very nice! Griots has great product, just a tad bit expensive. I love their Speed Shine.
