Default super purple question

the detailer down the street from my shop gave me a jug so i put it in a spray bottle sprayed all over engine let sit for a minute and hosed off. BUT u know how when u go to the dealer and look under a cars hood everything is shiny and glossy as hell it was like that until i hosed it off how do i get the wet look to stay?

i use tire gel on the hoses and on some of the black plastic parts. I then use quick detailer on all painted surfaces.
