as above use gunk , its along the lines of the stuff we use at work just not as harsh . you can also use parrafin which takes dirt clean off . to make the plastic bits shiny use something called "finish" or a silicone based spray , like dashboard cleaner , there all the same then wipe it in with a cloth ,no need to wash this . as for covering bits over , use a plastic bag on the battery , ecu isnt necessary on this occasion and depending whether you have an engine cover do the spark plugs .
