Before and After
Since it was a beautiful 74 degrees here in PA today, I figured it was a good time to do a little clean up of my engine bay. I spent about 25 minutes(didn't do a full on detail, just a good clean up), and for that amount of time I'm happy with it. It was certainly one part of the car that was disappointing me a bit.

Thanks for all the responses!
I used Meguiar's Natural Shine. Recommended for use on vinyl, plastic, and rubber. I usually only ever used this on my interior, dashboard, etc. But I was really itching to get the engine bay cleaned up a bit, and figured that this product might actually work pretty well considering most of everything in the engine bay that was dirty was plastic or rubber. It did great imo! It has a very nice finish. Not oily or greasy looking. I used one of my applicator pads for it, it was great for getting into the nooks and cranny's. Took a hose to it when it gathered too much gunk and it cleaned it right out. I was pleasantly surprised with how well the fuel rails turned out, especially the lettering.

Looks great.It is with great regret that I'm sad to say mine always looks like your after photo. I don't know why, maybe I should drive it more.
