    Spray everything down with "No-Touch Tire Care", let it sit for about 10 min., then wipe everything you can get to down by hand.

    Foam engine degreaser if really grimy. Simple Green works wonders, can be diluted, and won't streak certain parts especially if anything under your hood is anodized or aluminum. After all that, use a detail dressing.
