AUTO GLYM!!!
Spray with Engine and machine cleaner, aggitate with a brush, spray off with water, mop up excess water with kitchen towels then spary with vinyl and rubber care. Leave to dry and your finished.
Last done in the summer, currently on 72,000!!!
If its good enough for Aston Martin its good enough for my S2000.

The hood on the S2000 is vinyl.
Just use mild soapy warm water and then treat with vinyl and rubber care.

Is that from the dodgy little auto parts shop down the Cambridge end of Milton Road in Chesterton?
They're fairly reasonable in there! Got some nice soft top cleaner

What, the ENGINE??!!!
It's painted/made of plastic/etc isn't it? Use the same cleaaners/protectants you'd use on the visible bits. I also hate cars where the inner wings etc are covered in shit, when the outside's shiny.
A (very light) wipe with wax tends to inhibit corrosion on the castings, too.
