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!

You should be fine as long as you cling film the electrics to stop it fron getting in
