The previous owner of my ride is coming by this weekend for a visit and I don't want to disappoint. He kept the M Roady in amazing shape - inside, outside and under the hood. I've kept up with the exterior and interior very well, but a few months of SoCal smog/dust/shit and the recent rains have made my engine bay a mess.

I would never use baller high-gloss/shine products - and these are unaltered pictures after a few bloody knuckles and a hundred rags to toss in the trash.

What did I miss? Suggestions are welcome...
