wheel well/engine bay detailer?

After using an APC to clean areas such as the wheel wells and engine bay, what product(s) would you recommend for finishing them? I'd prefer something that doesn't leave an extremely greasy residue, and all the better if I can get a larger quantity for mixing and using in a spray bottle (as opposed to an aerosol can).

Thanks.

I use FK1 108.

Great for all plastics, not just wells and engine.

Anti-Static formula as well, whether or not you believe it.

Nice matte, non-greasy look. Glossy, just not soaking wet.

I used Stoner's More Shine for tires.

Re: wheel well/engine bay detailer?

there are quite a few different water based dressings that can be bought in the gallon size that can be diluted from 1:1 - 4:1 that are cost effective, so you can use it for the wheel wells, engine, etc...
