I have been using some halfords degreaser with a bit of elbow work and leaving it on for a bit the engine bay come up nice just remember to cover up all electrical parts (sensors) with cling film.

Theres a wax for wheels called rim wax not used it but heard its ok!

Apperently the poor boys range of car products are best!
