Default cleaning question

Quick question, what are some good cleaners that will clean up the stock exhaust tips as well as the engine bay?

On my exhaust tips I use Nevr-Dull. It's made by Eagle One and comes in a silver can. You can find it at Wal-Mart, parts stores, etc. Works well on wheels too.

Rub it on with some elbow grease. By the time you get finished with the fourth tip the first one will be all white & foggy. Buff it off and it'll shine great for about two days. Rinse-repeat.

For the exhaust tips, Mothers Polish will work well. For the engine bay, some Simple Green will get the dirt/grease out.
