Can you tell me what you using to clean the engine?
I really want it to shine

 

use any degreaser you want first...simple green or something you get from the auto store is fine.
you'll want to dry really well and then polish/shine everything and use some protectant on the hoses.

just make sure to cover up the electrical parts of the engine or you could fry something

I'm sure if you'll search you'll find product recomendations and better details on what to cover

 

here ya go ....hope it helps
