Can you use it on the raps engine safely tho??

I would not as it is really designed for black wrinkle wall finish . They recommend not to hit electrical connectors with it or break assemblies. However I have hit the calipers on my HD numerous times without any issues . Keep in mind it is not a cleaner , it acutely rejuvenates the finish . My running boards were just a little dirty when I hit them and even I was surprised as to how dam well it worked.
Besides this shit is kind of spendy per can . Good can of degreaser or engine brightener would be the way to go under the hood , at least for me .
Just note this is not a one shot and done deal the affects will last for some time, I can just not attest to how long yet on the Raptors running boards.
I would like to hear from just one of you guys who has tried it , so someone else besides me can attest to how f'n good this product works. Matter of fact if I ever make it to a Raptor get together I would bring a case of this and guarantee every can would go.

Poorboy's World Natural-Look dressing works perfectly.

Water based and it dries on. Not too glossy, perfectly black. Also works in tons of other places too :)

I take my truck out and beat on it like i hate it regularly, But i like to keep it clean. I keep all my vehicles and toys very clean. It makes them alot easier to work on.
I have had soo many scratches down the sides of my raptor it looked like a blackwood but the next day off that i had time i spent all day buffing them out.
Look at race vehicles at supercross,baja,nascar, or even say monster jam. Before they roll up to the starting line they look brand new. Why do you think?
Would you call those street queens or mall crawlers?
Maintainance is easier and in the end its worth more if it looks taken care of. I love and respect all my toys.

Nothing wrong with keeping it clean & it's much more difficult if you actualy use it. What bugs me is the guys who never drive or use their vehicle and yet expect everyone be all impressed with how clean it is.

And, yeah I know why the racers do it, (aside from the obvious maintenance issues) they are professionals who are paid to be there (been there, done that) & have to look professional.
Kinda like wanting your doctor to have clean hands.

Would this work on Line-X too? Have you guys ever used 303 Aerospace protectant? You can usually get it at boat stores. I used to use this on my 350Z tires, etc., and it is crazy. Has something like 50 SPF, and my driveway is still white where I used it 8 years ago! Need to pick up some and try it again.

I don't know about this one .

Also just a heads up . After useing SP100, The first time your running boards get wet they will be a little slick .

Been about a 1000 miles since I first treated / cleaned with SP100 and they still look great .
