What to use to clean up trunk/engine bay?

[Brodizzle83]

I'm trying to get my car ready for a car show coming up in March 21st and am wanting to clean up my trunk and engine bay. Are there any products that would clean up the black fiberglass or should I just clean, scuff and shoot it with some sort of trim black paint?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200216/48ff0f2b890110d1f29c85a33ac4c64b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200216/e9110a8ccb7a584e38348083eafa1709.jpg

SEM trim black 39143 is about the perfect match. If you want it to look good, paint it.

I prefer doing the trunk in truck bed lining. Every other D owner who has seen mine has complimented on how good it looks. Very durable too.

If you use SEM trim black I suggest following up with one or 2 coats of SEM 1K clear in your choice of finishes...I recommend semi gloss.

Walking back to your car after your dinner date that lasted precisely 1 hour and 22 minutes, you open the door for the lady and wave at the crowd gathered taking pics and live streaming. You seat yourself in the cockpit, and discussing coming back to your place. The sheer thrill coupled with terror of the engine just cranking and cranking is just intoxicating. You relieve the starter for a second hoping the car was just tired. The calm silence is stomped out by the laughter and the ramping up of fake shutter sounds from their iPhones. You try again while muttering "Please girl don't do this to me now". Your date looks at you and angrily screams "WTF! YOU BLAMING THIS ON ME?" You try to explain yourself over the cadence of the starter motor keeping rythm with the phone's burst modes. It's almost a symphony. Your explanations are lost on her as she exits the car screaming "I'll TAKE AN UBER...FU AND YOUR 4" PENIS". As you watch her walk away she is intercepted by none other than Maddox Hunter, the quarterback that used to beat you up in HS. He comforts her as he leads her to his 1994 Corvette, pausing to look over his shoulder to mouth the words "I win again".

A carbed car makes memories, but a Kjet car makes memories that haunt you till you die....that's why.

I think you have a future in romance novels aimed at the 38-42 stay at home demographic. Get rid of that pesky day job!

You can try cleaning things up with any number of cleaners out there. Windex is cheap and pretty effective if you don't have a lot of built up grease and dirt. If you don't like what you see after cleaning things up you can paint with SEM or something like it but don't get crazy, the original finish wasn't all that pretty. For the most part it was left pretty rough and whatever was applied didn't stick well or last long.

....don't get crazy, the original finish wasn't all that pretty. For the most part it was left pretty rough and whatever was applied didn't stick well or last long.

Yeah don't actually make it better than the factory...that's crazy talk. The factory configuration can not and should not be improved upon.
