It takes time I have been at it with the SS for 5 years to make it look this good.
It was a plan Jane white SS when I purchased the SS in 06

Looks amazing, where did you get the anodized caps for the fluids?

I hit up the local self serve car wash, shoot the whole engine compartment with degreaser i usually use full strength Purple Power, let it sit for 10-15 min, and spray it down, for the wow factor i'll use tireshine on the plastic and for the painted quick detailer
since i don't own a newer monte here is a pic of my DD's engine compartment a 99saturn SL2

I'm all for a CLEAN engine bay for sure!!! I use a power washer on mine... as well as a good degreaser and engine shine.
