Seriously my Gen1 engine bay needs to sparkle

[Viper Red]

Any hope for that to happen?

What parts do I need to insulate and protect if I were to spray the damn thing?
And what do you guys recommend to get most of the bay components to shine and look new?

Thanks

When I did my engine bay detailing I didn’t do the full wash.
My Viper is a daily driver so detailing was done accordingly.
Intake rails, valve covers letters, a/c dryer tank and front brace can be polished (chrome like) by hand with regular polishing compound.
Everything else was cleaned up with regular degreaser and some elbow grease. After that I use any plastic dressing.
Now, a couple of time a summer, I just wipe everything with a detailer damped rag.
Re-polish the chrome once or twice a summer and voila...
Does the job for me.
By the way, car has 92000km and is not driven in rain

Wish my engine bay looked that good.

I use Chemical Guys Barebones on anything black. It smells like grapes too so that's a two-fer.

3688036879Just chiming in... I use a product on my 2013 Harley Street Glide called S100 engine brightener... I was amazed when I first used it on my Harley engine as it made the texture black look brand new and doesn't effect the chrome at all... when I got my viper home after purchaseI was pretty bummed at how dirty it was and frankly being a desert har the engine looked pretty bad and remembered the S100 and used it after a light spray down with water and let it dry the S100 made it look fantastic and I sprayed it over everthing... no smoke or oder after the first ride either and it lasts a very long time, haven't done my harley in 3-4 months and still looks like a new engine
