I've still got a few cans of CD2 left. But, when I run out I'll start using Meguiar's Hyper Dressing. I've already used it a few times and it works really well. It leaves a nice dark look without being shiny if diluted properly.

I've been using Vinylex all along, but I just received some Hyper Dressing so I'm going to give that a shot the next time I do an engine detail

Double "ss" - i cant order spray cans cause they cant air freight them. I live in Hawaii so it would have to be by surface mail and I'm not willing to wait 4weeks =)

i was looking at the meg's hyper dressing. do you guys use it on your tires too? how does it hold up?

I only use it on my wheel wells and on engine bays as I have read on the Meguiar's forums that it has little to no UV protectants in it.

Where do you guys get meguiar's hyper dressing? Also, to apply, do you just dilute in a spray bottle and spray on to the engine?
