The springs are kind of easy easy too.... I clean them with a wrung out old microfiber towel. On the aluminium I like to use Nevr Dull.
I like it because it doesn't wear down or round off the details like a courser compound might. Its messy and will make your hands black so I use lots of cheap Walgreens latex gloves.
The engine is tougher, I'm careful and when I first detailed it I used a lot paint thinner and q-tips in the hard to get to areas. On the large painted areas I use detail spray and some times top get rid of the splotches I used cleaner wax. I know it turns the P/C green/grey but I use it sparingly and want to have the top end done by Jeff F some time in future. I'm happy (generally) with how it looks....And very happy with how it runs!!!!
