Default Keeping the Engine Black

Hello all,...I have alot of chrome on my 2004 EGC. I notice that the engine where there is still black left it seems lighter or discolored. I am wondering if there is such a thing as Engine Black or something to clean the area and get rid of water stains and such?

Thanks ahead of time

Try Pig Spit or S100, both will keep the black looking good and get rid of water spots and wax.

Ditto on the S100. I used to use Armorall years ago when the black engines 1st came out. S100 is much easier!

+1 Pig Spit or S100 for the engine. Pig Snot is a wax ...not for the engine.
