In the old days we just used a bit of WD40 and wiped over with a rag. Customers would lift their bonnet and see it was shiny and be happy thinking we had gone the extra mile. If it was a VIP then the car got some engine lacquer, which looked great to start off with, but crap when it cracked and looked like crazy paving.
Now I would just use a bit of vinyl and trim cleaner and give the parts a wipe over.
