    What all parts do you consider the most sensitive to cover with tin foil or pastic wrap?

    Great work!
    It would take me the whole afternoon if this is my car!

    Btw, I have been using Saran wrap to cover the connectors.
    It works better than alum foil as it can stick to itself and provide some sort of water resistance.

    Dennis, this is a great idea. I agree about the "whole afternoon"....Todd IS the master.

    Looks like you are getting good results with one coat of Sonus Motor Kote

    I use two as suggested by Sonus:

    "Spray two light coats, allowing 15-20 minutes drying time between coats. DO NOT WIPE. Allow one hour of final drying time before use."


    I just find some other area to work on between coats, so it wouldn`t affect the total detail time at all


    Love SMK, the look is great and it does not attract dust like "dressings"

    If you`re talking about All Clean+ (not the original All Clean), do 1:10 for the engine.
