For engine bay dressing......

I used CD2 Engine Detailer for years. Then the availability went down and the price went up.

Someone told me to try Stoner TrimShine on plastic, rubber engine parts as a substitute for CD2. Just as good and half the price, they said.

I`ve been using it ever since. Great stuff. Also works great on any black plastic trim. And if you do much detailing, you know that today`s cars are LOADED with black plastic trim!!!!

Excellent product, highly recommended!!!

I`ve seen you mention that stuff before. My question is, does it work on all plastic trim colors or just black? I have some of it on my car, right where the wipers park, but my wife`s XC90 is loaded with it under the front and rear bumpers and I haven`t tackled it with anything except Zaino Tire Dressing yet (which worked fantastic by the way, but pricey to do that much).

I used to use CD2 as well, but the price was eating into my wallet very quickly. i can get it local, so that wasn`t an issue.

I use Trim Shine, but not on engines. I have to order it though, but in the end, it`s still cheaper. I try to keep 4 or 5 cans in my cabinet at all times so I don`t run out.

On engines and wheel wells, I use Meguiar`s Hyper-Dressing. The initial cost is more, but you can control the gloss by dilution ratios, and I love it.

For engine detailing Hyper Dressing rocks.

I use it on wheel wells, tires, around the wipers/cowl and all the plastic and rubber under the hood.

I use Trim Shine because you recommended it. I must say it works great and I can pick it up locally which is nice.

I use it on exterior trim and love it. It works great on grille pieces.

Is it similar to 303 protectant or is it a different product altogether?

303 is more of a trigger spray water-based protectant. Trim Shine comes in an aerosol can and is completely clear. It is especially good for engine bays and plastics. I like 303 for interiors and Trim Shine for exterior/engines.

I got a engine/tire dressing from Detail King that doesn`t contain silicone. I heard it was possible for a silicone-based dressing to screw up the MAF sensor. This product works very well and leaves a nice matte finish. I`ve use it on the interior, as well.
