Nice car man, love the wheels! Do yourself a favor and Whistler those headlights ASAP! I even took a few mins to show you how awesome they'll look ;-)

We should have shot before and after shots.

First step was removing the front bumper support, clean and painted satin black.
During the time the part was drying we completed a basic dawn wash to the engine bay.
We followed with using a duragloss orange citrus degreaser. We repeated this process twice to make sure everything was clean. The process took close to 4 hours to complete with an ample amout of elbow grease. Last we applied 303 aerospace to the engine bay. This product has sunscreen available in it and also provides the matte finish that I prefer.

We used several types of brushes to reach between tight spots.
Biggest advice is: Just when you think you have it clean keep cleaning.

^ this man speaks the truth.

Whistler does look pretty dang good, but the headlights are so mint I don't wanna open em!

If I spy a cheap set that need a bit of help I'll definitely grab em and do it!
I don't wanna ruin anything on the car so I'm gonna have my second berger panel blacked out so I can switch back and forth =)

Thanks for the compliments everyone!
