Cleaner/degreaser and some elbow grease rubbing and cleaning things. Then a good detail spray to shine things up.

Any suggestions on brands that work better than others...and is it possible to run/clena the wrong thing & mess something up?

Sorry, but I am a novice and this is the first car that I ever cared this much about. FANATIC already!

You have to take the covers off and paint them yourself, or bring it somewhere to be painted like that. Most people here DIY, and also clean the engine bay yourself.

^hahha, love that, how you create one of those.. And not the same response either. O wait, google gave me that answer!

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Let+Me+google+that+for+you

Says benefits of grounding kit are:

increased hp*
increased torque*
improved fuel efficiency
stabilised idle
brighter lights
quicker engine starts
reduced emissions
reduced audio noise
better protection from potential engine damage from poor ECU outputs

Anyways, END OF DISCUSSION, lets stay on topic nao
