Still use Megs EK for wells. Dries hard. Use it on all suspension parts as well.

While several people have mentioned using Meg`s Engine Kote for different purposes, there seems to be some discussion about Meguiar`s discontinuing the Engine Kote product.
The Mop n Glo use has come up a few times as a possible replacement for it.

:dunno

Hi guys,

Yes, I first heard about the Mop n Glo from a member on Autopia, then news came out that EK is dying out so I investigated his tip and found indeed the 2 products are quite similar and can be sprayed on in the same way. I only use the EK now but when my supply is gone Mop n Glo and likely its generic equivalent is the way I`m going. Wow, I really wish I knew about this years ago, so much money wasted on tire foams, sprays and nothing but disappointing, short-lived, dusty results

Is the mop-n-glo a spray on and leave deal, or do you need to wipe it down? Willing to do either, but if it`s just a spray on and leave product, then that`s a big +.

I`ll be placing it in a spray bottle and just spraying it on. A guy told me wiping it can be quite a mess. I suppose I`ll experiment with both ways to see which works best for me

Too pricey for a wheelwell application. I use a cheap dressing like TireWet but only for this purpose. Paint the wells? I`ve heard of it, but I wouldnt do it.

Here is a viable solution. I have the black plastic on the front of my Explorer and they started turning brown. I used to spray them down with No Touch aresole tire dressing and made them look great. I still use this for my client vehicles.

However, I ran into a product, I believe it was by AC Delco (don`t quote me on that), called Spray on Bed Liner. I got it at PepBoys for about $6 for the can. It is an aresole form of Line X I suppose. Anyway, I did that about 6 months ago and haven`t dressed them since! For an added touch, I used a spray can of Clear Coat to give a nice glossy tone to it a couple months ago. They look great!!

Hope I could help!

The spray on bed liner sounds like a good idea. I also thought about the No Touch stuff. I think I can get that at Costco. Never thought I would consider buying No Touch.

Only thing about cleaning and shining with No Touch is that it will likely attract dust ( did for me) and will wash off with any kind of rain. I used to buy loads and load of aerosol tire foam for wheel wells but I gave it up and am now going with the Engine Kote/ floor shine routine

Plastic fender wells, I clean with degreaser and and a wheel brush, then use a water based dressing called "Dash 4 Door". Metal inner fenders I pressure wash, then use 3M undercoating.
