I used to work for a used car dealership though, and that was our favorite thing to do lol. We'd get an engine all cleaned up, and then douse the engine bay in that high temp clear coat stuff from autozone. We'd let it sit overnight, before driving it anywhere, and the customers would come in and say "Daaaaam that engine is clean! Somebody must have took care of this thing!!" It actually holds up pretty well to the heat too. It takes about 2 years for it to start fading out or coming off. We had one ranger that we just couldn't sell so we used it as a parts getter for junkyard parts and such. Did that to the engine when we first got it. It seemed to look really good for a couple years before it finally just sort of faded away. The engine does of course still get dirty, but you can powerwash all the dirt right off and then you get the clearcoat look again. It even works to make radiator hoses look freshly armorall'd for a long time. Just not sure I want to do it to my own, personal car lol. Be nice to find something you just do every once in a while.</blockquote>
