Default Engine bay detailing question
I recently purchased a black SRT-6 Coupe whose engine bay photo is below. I now need to sell my very nice black '07 Ltd. Coupe and want its engine bay to look like the photo below. What I like is that it gives the black painted areas a semi-gloss look.

I tried some Black Magic Matte Tire Finish, but it's not the same finish.

If you have a good recommendation to match the photo, please pass it on.

CD2 Engine Detailer, if you can find any.
( I have only one can left, haven't been able to locate any more )

I also like using 303 protectant. It leaves a clean shine and not oily finish. It does not attract dust also.
