Nice....can you provide a step by step of engine detailing? What do you wrap up with plastic to avoid water. What did you use to clean. And how did you apply dressing evenly to all the little tight spaces.

Thanks.

Thanks. But what do you tape or cover up? If anything?

The video doesn't show how to apply dressing. Do you only do the top side and just leave the bottom undressed?

nothing was taped in the engine. late model cars are sealed pretty good.

nothing was done on the lower 1/2 of the engine.

we dress as much as we can reach.
