After you remove the grime, PigSpit works the best on the engine to make it shine.



Does NOT attrach dirt/dust, actually repels it. Shines the motor and conditions the belts. Good stuff!

uh...last time i checked WD40 was used to loosen bolts. seems to me that would be the last thing you would want to spray on your engine. try a little armor all and let the engine run with the hood closed creates a vapor like effect. yes, it does attract dust, but if you rinse about once a month you'll be ok. it's old school tech.

I used to do that all the time and since found much better products to use that do NOT attract dust....
works great on everything!

J here turned me onto this last year, one full show season later and I've used maybe an 8th of the bottle. Keeps things looking amazing and truly confirms the saying "a little goes a long way"

Thanks, I've been meaning to ask someone what the best engine dressing is.

Just bought myself a bottle, going to try it once it get's warmer outside.
