With engine bays i got lee aka (chunk) to help do mine, but product wise it depends how far you want to go, if you want a good base to start with get it degreased and steam cleaned then its just keeping on top of it maintenance wise.
These are the products i use and have never done me wrong

Also Autoglym engine cleaner is an excellent one to use cuts through virtually anything and goes along way too If you get the above itll last for ages and get a good finish everytime.
You could allways go down the silicone route, me and lee used autoglym engine cleaner on my engine bay and used silicon spray to finish off the plastic bits. The silicon spray is quick and easy to use and lasts a long time, its great for shows and is cheap. There are a few draw backs to it though, it stays wet virtually the whole time its on the car, its not really a bad point but its slightly greasey if you touch it and it attracts dust like a magnet. Still gives an excellent finish though as long as you keep ontop of it.
One product to avoid is:

It does clean metal, but keep it away from chrome or anything shini, it dosent give a good finish and leaves chrome with a misty effect. The autoglym polish is alot better and easier to use
Hope it helps matey |
The maxi suds ...nice smell could have drank it
What is the situation with steam cleaning on these? Do all the electrics eat themselves or is it a do it and wait a day or till its dry then start it up?
The silcone spray
Like you say attracts everything yukko.
I'll have a look at the other products you've listed Andy...nice one
