you can clean your engine bay at those drive in car wash DIY ones. im pretty sure it just squirts out normal soap but i could be wrong. if you go there it only costs $2 to do your engine bay and has a good finished result

new cars dont like water on them. like vr6 golfs have a sticker warning ! no waashing of engine electronic damage may occure. something like that. so best make sure you check first even older cars water gets in distributor and needs blowing out with compressed air after.

Yea sorry, should have structured my question better.yes I mean by hand. I usually just clean the engine with damp cloth but was wondering if there were any products that made it shine better. With amorall do you mean like the interior protectants!

Wrap your coils and air intake with a plastic bag. With the car off, give the whole thing a big spray with a good degreaser, start car, then water blast the shit out of it. Don't turn it off.take it for a drive.

Just a warning about tyre shines and silicon sprays. they may look good at first but will get dirtier quicker than just cleaning. As they attract dust etc and sticks to the sprays

certain silicons can be flammable be very careful.water based ones are the best for under bonnet

What about the 'tyre foam'! Spray on and walk away! (said with chinese accent if you want)

Worked perfectly on every car I have ever de-greased. Holdens Toyotas VWs Audis.they all get it and they all are fine. If you get water where it isn't supposed to go then give it a blast with compressed air then some crc or something. Don't overthink it, consider how wet the engine gets on a rainy day just from backsplash.
