Congrats on the wins; what do you use on the under-hood area, i.e. is it cleaned or repainted?

The underside of the hood is original, I just wipe it down with some furniture polish like Pledge. I would like to repaint it some day with a base coat/clear coat gloss black.

Looks great, do you have any pics of the undercarriage. What is the best way to detail exhaust and the rest under car.

I don't have any pictures of the undercarriage, my lift is currently vacated by a car that was given to my daughter. she will be driving this year and i hope to get it out of the garage so I can use the lift and take some nice pictures of the completely detailed undercarriage ! The exhaust is completel Jet Hot coated from the exhaust manifold to the rear Y pipe finished off with Borla polished mufflers.
