Engine Compartment Covers

I was wondering what you all use to clean the engine compartment covers, if anything at all. I used the armor all cleaning wipes. Looks good except for some reason it scratched the hell out of the 3.2 V-Tec lettering. What is the lettering made of anyway? Oh well, at least it is only looks and does not effect the ride. Who ever looks at the engine anyway?

i just use a damp towel to clean the engine compartment plastics. i would never use the armor all stuff. first off it leaves a nasty shine that doesn't look appealing to me. since no sun hits those plastic peices i dun worry about uv protection too much.

Use the same detailing spray you would use for the paint. I use Meguiar's or Zaino.
