no disrespect, but that looks unbelievable. two different cars....
I'm guessing engine mounts were replaced, or repainted?
and even the rusted bolts are replaced too.
did you replace all those parts too?

Rob's DIY said it took about four days.
Not too bad to have an engine bay look like it does in the 'after' pictures.

Really impressive, thanks for the tip
I never thought that WD-40 on plastic would show this result
