Meguiars Engine Dressing - protection and shine for engine parts, 450 ml

Meguiar's Engine Dressing keeps everything under the hood looking new. This dressing safely restores and protects the materials used in the engine compartment and maintains their "new" appearance. The preparation is non-greasy, does not contain solvents dangerous to the skin. Provides long-lasting protection, protects against cracking, fading and hardening of plastics and rubber.

Recommended engine cleaning procedure - quick / dry cleaning:

• Before cleaning, warm up the engine for a short time - let it run for about 10 minutes with the hood closed to loosen any coating of dirt and grease.
• Remove leaves and other coarse dirt from the engine compartment with compressed air or another suitable method.
• Preparation for cleaning the engine, e.g. G14816 Meguiar's Engine Cleaner, shake before use.
• Spray a sufficient amount of product directly onto the cleaned surface from a distance of approx. 30 cm.
• Carefully clean the entire surface with a brush with firm but not sharp bristles. You can use, for example, brushes from our offer.
• Afterwards, wipe the product residues from all surfaces with two microfibre cloths.
• Wipe off dirt with one cloth, wipe dry with the other.
• Do not leave the product on any surface longer than indicated on its label not even dry!
• If necessary, divide the engine compartment into smaller parts, e.g. quarters, and work in sections so as not to exceed the time limit of the product's effect!
• Do not use it on polished metal surfaces without any surface coat!
• Finally, apply protection to all cleaned surfaces. This will treat the surfaces after using the degreaser, nourish, protect and give them a luxurious, rich and dark look.
• Spray the dressing on the surface with a soft brush, e.g. with one of our current offers, spread it so that it covers the entire surface evenly.
• Let the dressing dry.
• Wipe off the excess with a microfibre cloth to achieve a uniform, dark and rich look on all plastic, rubber and metal parts.

Recommended engine cleaning procedure - complete detailing:

• Modern engines are designed to withstand moisture. With the appropriate procedure, you can easily and effectively clean even a heavily soiled engine compartment.
• Use protective glasses to prevent cleaners and other chemicals from getting into your eyes while working.
• Before cleaning, warm up the engine for a short time - let it run for about 10 minutes with the hood closed to loosen any coating of dirt and grease.
• Remove leaves and other coarse dirt from the engine compartment with compressed air or another suitable method.
• Seal the area around the engine compartment (front bumper, mudguards, front doors) with masking tape and a covering film from our offer to prevent the surrounding paint from being stained with cleaner and other chemicals and dirt from the engine compartment.
• Cover all delicate electronic parts into which water can penetrate (eg exposed sensors, installed electronic devices without the necessary sealing, open air filters, etc.) before starting cleaning.
• Wrap electronics and open air filters with food film to prevent water and dirt from entering, then reinforce e.g. using aluminum foil and cover with masking tape.
• You can seal the inlets of the air intakes using a microfiber or cotton cloth.
• Preparation for cleaning the engine, e.g. G14816 Meguiar's Engine Cleaner, shake before use.
• Spray a sufficient amount of product directly onto the cleaned surface from a distance of approx. 30 cm.
• Carefully clean the entire surface, including all corners, with a brush with firm but not sharp bristles. You can use, for example, brushes from our offer.
• Rinse the cleaned part with water. We recommend using a spray nozzle on a hose. The use of a pressure cleaner can cause moisture to enter sensitive electronics, and a strong stream of water can mechanically damage some fragile components in the engine compartment!
• Do not leave the product on any surface longer than indicated on its label not even dry!
• If necessary, divide the engine compartment into smaller parts, e.g. quarters, and work in sections so as not to exceed the time limit of the product's effect!
• Do not use it on polished metal surfaces without any surface coat!
• Subsequently, clean the lower part of the hood using the same procedure. Finally, we recommend washing the hood from the inside using a washing glove and car shampoo to strengthen the shine of the paint, and rinse with water.
• If there is a textile filling on the hood, spray only a small amount of product on the surface, clean with a gentle brush suitable for textiles, and wipe with a microfiber cloth.
• Once again, gently rinse the entire engine compartment from any remaining cleaner.
• You can perform drying in two ways:
  • Close the hood, start the engine and let it dry with the heat produced. Before starting, uncover all covered engine parts!
  • Dry the engine compartment with compressed air (recommended).
• Unmask the surrounding body parts, expose all engine parts.
• Finally, apply protection to all cleaned, non-textile surfaces. This will treat the surfaces after using the degreaser, nourish, protect and give them a luxurious, rich and dark look.
• Spray the dressing on the surface with a soft brush, e.g. with one of our current offers, spread it so that it covers the entire surface evenly.
• Let the dressing dry.
• Wipe off the excess with a microfibre cloth to achieve a uniform, dark and rich look on all plastic, rubber and metal parts.
