Looks good man, out of curiousity, all the now shiney plastic, is it like sticky gooey ? Seems to me it would make wrenching a more dirty process for the wrencher if so? haha but it does make it look new again!

Thanks. No, not gooey at all. In fact, the Tire Shine goes on a lot like Armorall and has a watery/milky appearance. I took a flannel wrag and wiped off all the excess that puddled around on the flat surfaces, and wiped off the hoses a bit. It has a really smooth feel to it after it dries. Wrenching will be a lot less dirty now (assuming I can keep her that clean).

LOL... actually, Alan, I did miss a spot on the passenger side botttom spider leg boot. Completely missed it, and it was pretty gunky. I wiped it off a bit when I was finishing up, and fortunately, it's not obvious since it is so low on the spider and in the valley. It will be the first location to get treated next go 'round.

Thanks, elvia. I have found that pics help me tremendously when I want to do a project, so I try to share what I experience in case someone else can find it helpful.

Man, that looks GREAT!

Did you purchase the Dupont Teflon Tire Shine online or in a local store? If a store may I ask where?

I want to do that tomorrow.

Guys, My wife just informed that she's afraid you all are a bad influence on me .LOL - I told her she better be careful or she 'd have to put on her coveralls and help me with my new ss exhaust when it gets here next week. She just rolled her eyes and walked out. I told her you all were like my brothers from another mother!!!

Dupont's Teflon Tire Shine did a great job!!
Now you know why I used that stuff. It's got a great shine, it's not gooey, and the teflon helps repell some of that dirt.
