[QUOTE="Photonfanatic, post: 1146244, member: 15983"] I'm going to detail my engine tomorrow. I've got it all "clean". Well, as clean as I can get it with dish soap and a rag. I'm letting it dry overnight, and tomorrow I want to "shine" it up. Specifically, all the black plastics. I want to give it that clean and well maintained engine look. I have used Armorall in the past but it just attracts too much dust. So today I tried a small amount of WD-40 on an inconspicuous part of the engine. It looked great when I first put it on, then after I drove the car and got the engine warm, it completely evaporated and left the black plastic even MORE faded than it was before! So is there something out there that won't just evaporate when the engine gets warms up, but also doesn't attract dust? And has at least some staying power. [/QUOTE]
