Engine bay, I find BBQ cleaner cheap n effective.
Then back to black or proper silicone restorer for pipes/wires/plastics
Wow. You clearly take pride in your car!
Fairy liquid & a yellow sponge? Brillo pad for stubborn bits?
Dashboard: Auto Finesse Spritz
Engine bay: Bilt Hamber Surfex to clean it, Carpro Perl to dress it.
Wax: There are countless options. Are you wanting a hard wax or a liquid wax? I'm swaying towards liquid wax as it's easier to apply and remove. The Nattys Tom mentioned is an OK basic entry level wax, won't cause miracles but will do the job. Don't forget you need to polish it before waxing. Wax is a sealant.. No point at all in waxing an unpolished car as you're not protecting anything. So many people confuse waxing and polishing as the same thing. Even something like Auto Glym super resin polish works perfectly well.
This is all very budget related. Are you wanting it to look OK temporarily and just spend a few quid at Halfords, or are you open to sending a bit more on half decent stuff? Bilt Hamber do some great products.
