Just thought I`d pass along my experiences (related in the Click & Brag section) with this product. I haven`t used it on an engine yet, but I`ve used it to protect plastic bumpers and the most brilliant of realizations on my part (hah!) on WHEEL WELLS!
Basically it lays down an acrylic shield with two "light, even" coats (that`s hard to do with the sprayer) without wiping and with 10-15 min dry time in between coats. The results on the bumper and wheel wells have been fantastic.
It`s like using 303, AA, hyper dressing etc on the wheel wells, but it doesn`t wash off with regular washing or driving in the rain. I like it very much.
Here`s the masked-off bumper shot from the Tercel:

And wheel well shot on the Tercel (I`ll have to shoot some of the pics of my S):

In both instances (if it`s not obvious) the left side was done with Sonus TMK, while the right side was washed only.
Overspray should be wiped off right away, but will come off easily enough with gentle scrubbing or a cleaner like AIO or a light claying. It`s important to get the application even and to carefully absorb any excessive pooling or dripping of product, so it doesn`t cure too thick there.
Not the easiest stuff to use, but it sure looks great.
good stuff.
