The RED is all wire loom over the stock wires. Costs about 30 bucks for a huge bag. It is made my a company called Taylor.
A wonderful polish is Mothers Billet polish. It's a bit expensive but well worth it.
As for cleaning the engine bay...
1. Cover your air filter with a plastic bag.
* for very dirty engines spray down the bad spots with engine degreaser*
2. Spray down the entire engine bay with Simple Green.
3. Spray the hood too with Simple Green
4. Close the hood and let the Simple Green soak while you wash the rest of the car.
5. Using high pressure, rinse out the engine bay.
6. Use a household washcloth to scrub everywhere you can reach with the soapy water from the car was solution.
7. Rinse with high pressure again.
8. Use a good shammy to dry everything all up.
9. Use Mothers Billet polish to clean up the shiny stuff.
10. Hit the rubber with silcon type spray cleaners (NO ARMOR ALL)
11. Admire your work.
Hope this helps.

A few pictures of mine of what it currently is, before the last build, and before then.
Now:
And Before the build:
And the mess it was before then:
What a transformation. UICP is going to be hand polished to give it some more bling. Down the road: coolant overflow, power steering reseviour, and maybe radiator w/o offset hose routing. I'm very happy with the way it turned out and the hard work sean put into the wire tuck job under there.
