I agree with both of you really. Dawn is great for stripping off old wax. I use Meguairs Car wash stuff which is more gentle.

As for Simple Green, it's for greasy, grimy areas but I don't use it on painted surfaces because if left on for too long it will damage/strip paint. On some plastics it will dry it out leaving a dull, dryed look.

For black plastics under the hood I use Back To Black. It leaves a nice, new look rather than an overly shiny look like Armour All.

Soap and water go a long way under the hood and a good detail spray like Wizards.
