Zoop seal is like a rubbed on ceramic coating that is supposed to last at least two years.
I have used zoop seal on my polished engine parts and it works great. I have even more shyat polished than his throughout the engine bayand it all retains the same 'just polished' look with the swipe of a wet rag. Everything has been coated in oil, cleaners and of course been exposed to the heat. I also live by the ocean which probably doesn't help much either. Before I applied the zoop seal I had to repolish everything every other month or so to keep that fresh look. It hasn't been two years for me yet, but it has held up as I had hoped.
When/If you install that engine in a car, I highly recommend you apply zoopseal before hand. It will save you a TON of work. I was skeptical at first but would have tried anything to avoid having to polish everything over and over again. I was sick of it real quick.

Wow...those are some beautiful engine bays. This makes me want to go outside, pull my engine, rebuild it, and polish everything I can get my hands on.
RX-Heven: Love the overflow bottle...is your coolant cola flavored, or is that cherry?

Cherry Coke it was and NHRA approved even. Since been replaced with an Evian bottle 
Funny thing is that whenever I open my hood, that is usually the first thing people comment on.
One of these days I'll get around to replacing it with something shiny

My sweet brother wankeltrim also knows how to speed up BMW:s with rotary engines without using turbo. Here´s la ink to a brand new video from this weekend. Rightclick and save target as..

It´s a bridgeport 13B that makes this yellow BMW goes fast. In sweden we call this kind of competition RALLYCROSS. What you people call i don´t know but it´s great to look at.

Now i´ve got another video, this time from the A-final. The winning yellow Volkswagen is also equiped with a rotary engine (bridgeport 13B i think) built by my brother Wankeltrim.
