Water and bodywork shampoo, use a microfibre cloth, rinse off by wringing out clean water from the cloth, dry down and treat with autoglym plastic/rubber spray stuff.
Use tar remover on anything really stubborn (girly's car rather than mine as it's kept on top of)

I just need to get the plastic cleaner then

Below is a picture of the engine bay of my Leon after six years of ownership, pretty much as it was when it came out of the factory.
All I ever did with it was wipe it down with a sponge and the water/shampoo left over from washing the car. I think the trick is not to let it get too dirty in the first place.



By way of comparison, here is a picture of the engine bay when the car was brand new.

Damp cloth & silicone spray.

Any one paticular?

It seems my mk1 LCRs were both easier to keep clean than my mk2 FR under the bonnet.

Not really. Microfiber cloth. Any silicone spray will do.
