Try this stuff called CD2. I think you can get it at Autozone, thats where I think I got mine, cant remember. Amazon.com has it as well.

That stuff works amazing, leaves a nice *** gloss finish!

Guys with the "less than desirable engines", don't sweat it. You guys actually drive your trucks on a daily basis. It's hard to wipe everything down all the time with a diaper when you're wrenching on your DD.

Just take 1 day a month, or two, or three, and detail the **** out of it. Then drive all over town and take pictures then you could use those pictures to make it seem like your truck is always clean!

i went to sams and got some cheap tire foam that doesnt gloss just makes it look rediculously clean and spray everywhere then wipe it down to even it out. if i get a little grime i just bust out the brake cleaner and compressor
it looks a little different now with e fans and couple small things

^^ I do the same. The *cheap* spray foam tire dressing on the plastic parts, with intermittent cleaning with Simple Green.

Living in West Texas, the tire dressing accumulates dirt rather quickly
