Full Description

Tenzi Motorplast is a specialised engine bay dressing from the Tenzi ProDetailing range. It coats metal, plastic and rubber parts with a hydrophobic layer that repels dust and water, deepens colour contrast for a new engine look and dries without a sticky or greasy finish.

Tenzi says it can go on wet or dry parts, needs no wiping and resists high temperatures, and its antistatic layer slows fresh dirt from settling, so the engine is easier to clean next time. Spray it evenly over a clean engine bay, use a brush to reach hidden places and leave it to dry for a few hours. We sell it in a 700ml bottle.

Expert Notes

An engine bay dressing is the last step after an engine clean. Tenzi Motorplast leaves a hydrophobic, antistatic layer on metal, plastic and rubber parts, so water and dust are pushed off and fresh dirt is slower to settle, and Tenzi says it deepens colour contrast for a new engine effect.

It is easy to live with: it goes on wet or dry parts, needs no wiping and dries without a sticky or greasy coating. The one rule Tenzi stresses is a clean surface, because dressing over dirt can leave a sticky layer.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Engines
  • Rubber hoses
  • Plastic parts
  • Metal parts

Caution: Use it only on clean surfaces and never below 5 degrees Celsius, and keep it out of your eyes.

Top Tip: For a more even mist, Tenzi suggests taking the foamer off the sprayer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work on wet parts?

Yes. Tenzi says it can be used on wet or dry surfaces. If the engine was just washed, drying it a little with compressed air first helps.

Do I need to wipe it off?

No. Spray it evenly and leave it to dry for a few hours. Tenzi says it needs no wiping.

Will it leave the engine sticky?

Not on a clean engine. Tenzi says it does not stick after drying and leaves no greasy stains, but using it on dirty parts can create a sticky layer.

Can it take engine heat?

Yes. Tenzi says it is resistant to high temperatures.

What finish does it give?

It deepens colour contrast for what Tenzi calls a new engine effect, with a water repelling, antistatic layer.

What does it go on?

Engines, rubber hoses, plastic parts and metal parts.

What size is it?

We sell it in a 700ml bottle.

HQ Suggests Tips & Insights

  1. Only spray it on a clean engine bay, dressing over dirt can turn sticky.
  2. Hold the sprayer back from the surface to avoid stains.
  3. Cover the air intake and exposed electrics while you clean the bay.
  4. Use a soft detailing brush to work it into hidden corners.
  5. Leave it a few hours to dry fully.
  6. Keep it out of your eyes, it can cause serious irritation.
  7. Keep it out of reach of children.
  8. Work on a cool engine, never a hot one.

Its car care comes in two lines: Detailer, for everyday washing and cleaning, and ProDetailing, for coatings, dressings and pre-wash.

Tenzi wash, wheels and exterior care

Pre-wash and wash. APC Out (also 5L) is a concentrated pre-wash that loosens the heaviest dirt, tar and oily marks before the hand wash. Pink Snow Foam is a pH 7, cherry scented foam that Tenzi makes without phosphates and rates safe on paint and coatings, and Insect Remover softens bug splatter on a cool car. The Detailer Car Shampoo makes a thick foam at 50 to 75ml per 10 litres in soft water, or 75 to 100ml in hard water. Quartz Shampoo leaves a quartz layer as you wash, foams less by design, and each wash adds to the layer.

Wheels and tyres. Clean Rim is the everyday wheel cleaner, safe on paint and tyres: spread it over the wheel, leave it about a minute and rinse under pressure. Bleeding Rim and Cherry Bleeding Rim are pH neutral gels for aluminium, chrome and enamelled wheels that turn red as they meet iron and brake dust. Prix is a 5L, ready to use iron remover for paint and wheels: give it three to five minutes and do not let it dry. Seal clean wheels with R1 Rim, a ceramic coating for painted, polished and chrome wheels that resists braking heat, and finish tyres and trim with Tire and Plastic Dressing for a wet look.

Engine bay and bikes. Clean Engine is an active foam that lifts oil and road grime and is harmless to gaskets. Motorplast then dresses metal, plastic and rubber with a hydrophobic, antistatic layer; it goes on wet or dry parts, needs no wiping and dries in a few hours. The Bike Cleaner cleans every part of a bicycle or motorcycle, and Mud Off is a ready to use, pH 11 cleaner for bikes, quads and off-road machines: wear gloves and eye protection.

Tenzi coatings, protection and interior

Ceramic coatings. Q7 Crystal is Tenzi's established quartz paint coating, and Q10 Flexi combines hardness with flexibility for more damage resistance; both come as 50ml kits. T1 Titanium is a 50ml titanium coating laid over T1 Activator, and Quartz Coat is a kit of 100ml coating and 100ml IPA Cleaner, applied indoors at 18 to 25°C. GX Glass is the 50ml glass coating. Prepare paint with IPA Cleaner and Clay Spray, and top a coating up with SLS Quartz Cream Reloader, which Tenzi rates at four to six months.

Sprays and waxes. Quartz Spray works on dry or wet paint and windows, and P14 Si is buffed off a dry car or rinsed off a wet one. Wet Wax goes on wet paint straight after washing and helps the car dry, adding liquid quartz to the paint and glass. Diamond Gloss Ceramic Wax blends quartz ceramic with carnauba, rated by Tenzi at up to 12 months, in a 300ml box with applicator and cloth. Also the Carnauba Spray, Quick Shine, which lifts water marks and is harmless to waxes, and Car Shine in 5L, spread on and left to dry with no polishing.

Interior and glass. Clean Cockpit cleans heavily soiled plastics and Matte Cockpit Dressing keeps them matt and antistatic. Clean Leather suits natural and artificial leather, worked in with the horsehair Leather Brush, and Clean Upholstery lifts stains from seats, carpets and headlinings. APC In is a 1L concentrate for leather, plastics and textiles, at 100ml per litre of water for leather and wood, or 200ml for stains. For glass there are Clean Glass, ready to use Top Glass GT and anti-fog Top Glass Premium GT. The wooden Precise Detailing Brushes come in 15mm for vents and badges, 21mm and 29mm for wheels and larger areas.
