Default Engine detailing ?

What is everyone using to clean the fuel rail covers? Do you put some kind of protectant on after they're clean? Mine look like someone put armorall on them and now it has, what looks like runny water marks. I've heard good things about simple green. Can I use simple green on the plastic and aluminum parts? Thanks Guys.

Simple green is a cleaner/degreaser not a protectant. When you put a protectant on I would suggest not using Armour-All, it has silicone in it that attracts dust. I use Zaino Z-16 rubber and trim protectant on the engine bay and hoses. Works well for me. :)
