Re-spiffed the (almost 200K mile) SBH engine bay... Not looking too shabby. Sprayed the goop on, closed hood & walked away. That was 4 days ago. Opened the hood today & took the pics.
I didn't actually clean it before applying the goop as it was already looking pretty decent.

Goop: Koch Chemi MotorPlast

How can we tell what a good job it did if you don't post a 'before' photo as well?

Disqualified from being a SBH.

It looked like that, but not quite so shiny....

When did cleaning become dressing?

Dunno, I didn't clean it, I just sprayed the dressing on & walked away.

Well, the lemon juice or vinegar cuts through the grease and the olive oil makes it shiny. (Smells good when the engine gets hot too).

About the same time as owning became curating.
