I've never come across any engine dressing in any auto store I've ever been to. Can anyone point me to a place in Perth that stocks a decent engine dressing or suggest a suitable alternative? Ordering off the net isn't a possibility for me.

Re: Engine Dressing In Australia??
IF you have access to the internet, go to a site that sells to Australia and order Meg's Hyper Dressing. WORK WONDERS. Dilute to different ratios for different levels of Shine.
IMO I love the extreme shine which is a 1:1 Water to Chemical ratio.
In the past I had used tire shine gel from meg's or armorall for all the black radiator hoses or black plastic pieces. -

tire shine on the rubber hoses, so obvious but I never thought of it

Re: Engine Dressing In Australia??
Looks great
FWIW.... I would stick with a water based dressing. Oil based will pick up more dust and will be alot tougher to remove next time you decide to detail your engine bayComment
