Went the painted route.

That's not a Z is it? Z's have cast plenums.

Nope it's a C7, not a Z.

Once you get your engine compartment as clean as yours you will find detailing it is really easy. It's just the initial investment of time and labor.

I will add that I don't particularly like to add running water to an engine bay. (I remember the old Opti-spark days). I have found that a little maintenance often is better than a complete detail. What I find is a good rinseless wash, several towels dedicated to the engine, small can of compressed air, and a paint brush is all that's really needed to get most engine bays looking good. You can then coat, seal , or protect the trim and plastic pieces.

Stay away from sticky silicone dressings, consider a good water based one. This will avoid dirt being found back where it was just cleaned.

Good point.

After I do this maybe once a year if not longer duration. I will however use a waterless wash to clean it up from this point. On the black on I used the Blackfire waterless. Did a great job.
