Default Detailing the Engine Compartment

I have a stock '03 Anniversary Vette. Can someone recommend something better than Amoral to detail the engine compartment.
Thanx a bunch!

for any of your black rubber or metal parts, use Adams IN & Out spray. It makes everything shine and then wipe off your painted parts, like the rail coversand any chrome and it will pop! If you have any grease , use simple green.

Default Already clean and looking for some pop?

I am assuming that you have cleaned the engine compartment first. I use CD2 engine spray, it is old school but adds a nice look to the engine but is rare and hard to find
