 Autoglym engine and machine cleaner is good for removing grime (put clingfilm over sensitive electronic bits) once you've done that put some back to black type stuff on the hoses and don't buff off. Then go at the various manifold bits with a drill polisher and finish off with some Meguiars All Metal Polysh - so
