  • Hyper dressing

    Just ordered some hyper dressing. When I use it in my engine compartment, I want to get a nice satin finish. How should I dilute it? Thanks and sorry for the noob question..

    Welcome to MOL!

    I prefer Hyper Dressing, 3:1 (Satin finish) under the hood. Here is a shot of HD applied, pulled from this post:Hyper Dressing - another good one!

      3:1 ratio is water/HD and if you want it more glossy then maybe 2:1. Maybe dumb question but I just want to make sure.

        Also what about Safe Degreaser, do you dilute it too?

            Just to add... read post #20 in the link posted above by BlueZero. Very helpful when diluting.

                Do you just spray on the HD and let it set or do you have to wipe it off? I'll be glad when it all gets here so I can get my engine looking good. I'll post some pics too.

                  I dilute HD 3:1. I wipe down all the bigger "flat" areas and wipe up the puddles. That's about it. It's the best thing I've ever used for the engine compartment. You'll love it!

                            I thought your Tacoma was a Prerunner at first because I didn't see the vacuum assist for your 4wd ADD... but your 04 must have more differences than just the drive-by-wire throttle body!

                            Your truck (at least in the engine compartment) looks Really good!

                            Mine's an old '97... but still packs a punch:

                              Yours is almost 10 years old and still looks new. I hope I can keep mine looking that good.
