Here is some more pictures I took when corvetmike was working on his truck.

These were before pictures.

I have gotta more pictures with corvetmike and my detailing work today.
Car is BMW 3 series coupe with 65,000miles.
I didn't have before pictures(forgot to take pictures, we were working under extreme heat today ).

It looks better than new!


Engine compartment was dusty, never been cleaned.
Owner was very happy with our work not only shiny exterior, but fully detailed engine

Does Hyper Dressing dry hard or will it attract dust? What is the average life of it? I am curious before I shell out the cash for a gallon.

I'd like to know this also.

That hyper dressing looks great.

Curious what to use on polished aluminum and chrome under the hood? My fuel rails and various other billet parts get rather dull quickly for one reason or another and polishing them is a pain.

Forgive the filth, this pic was taken after after a long road trip.

Hello all,

Corvetmike.................as opposed to using tinfoil I have found double thickness clingfilm to be good for wrapping things like the alternator etc, just a thought nice job by the way

I really like Meguiar's NXT Metal Polysh on polished aluminum.

WOW - Hyperdressing looks amazing!

Is it a spray and leave product or do you need to buff it with a MF?

[Buellwinkle]

Just spritz it on and let it dry, done. I dont' think Meg's has an easier to use product.

Why are you using metal stuff to "protect" stuff like alternators......
Isn't it safer to use anything but metal to protect these things?

Anyway, the After's look very very good.... I'll go and search for some of that Hyper Dressing in Europe!

The aluminum foil is great because it can be shaped to fill in gaps. Now I would not turn the engine on with the foil there...

[Ranger72]

Alumunimum foil is great, but I quickly stopped using it in exchange for plasitc bags and zipties. My reason, on certain alternator the 12v post sits in such a way that the foil can touch it and the casing to the alternator, which is grounded. I juuuuust so happen to have a powermaster high amp alternator that this *can* happen to. Ok it did, and starting arching lol... Luckilly no damage, just now just plastic. lol

[ViperArry]

That was why I mentioned it..... better not to use any metal material on things that normally run Volts through.

Plastic is just as good, but a lot safer to your car!

Interesting... good point. I could see how that may cause a problem. I know on my truck everything has rubber boots or plastic guards over it but you never know.

Mike, can you give us the complete run down on how you detailed the Honda Civic's engine bay? It turned out great! Also, will dust cling to Hyperdressing?
