Im polishing mine as we speak!
To clean your engine bay, use brake cleaner and simple green!
To polish your alternater and what not, id start with 400 wet, then 600 wet, then 1000 wet! Then buy some Mothers polish and polish the sh1t outta it!
If youve got a dremel, put the little wire brush on their and use that to polish, then finish with 1000 wet.

For degreeser I used Goo Gone and simple green. You can get both at your local K-mart. The goo gone not only disolves sticky stuff, it also cuts through greese better than simple green.
Here is a detail job I did on my raddo. I dont have a before pic but believe me you would have never known there was silver paint there. I did my whlo engine bay with this stuff, it works great.
