Awesome.  I bet that took some time and effort to get so clean and sparkly.   That should net you about 2 more mph too. :lol:

Made me wish I did that to mine while the engine was out for a rebuild. Nothing like a clean, neat engine bay.

Now to put that Zoop Seal on it to keep it looking great.  From what I have been told that product works great. But if it works as advertised then it should do the trick. Here is something I found online about it.

Well I have never heard of Zoop Seal  before and I don't think it's even available here in the Netherlands. I still wonder if it works especially on the temperatures the turbo reaches.

the site says after curing, 400 degrees - not enough for the exhaust side, anyway.

Absolutely beautiful, Caddy! :D

To keep it looking that way, have it "powder coated" with clear powder. It will stay glossy for many years that way.
