Air compressor to clean out any dirt dust. Then just a damp terry cloth wipe down and mine seems to stay pretty spotless. Times ive used armor all wipes and other cleaning formula's it seems to leave things greasy and more of a mess to maintain.

Water, diluted vinegar and Wizards Mist and Shine. Other than that not much has been needed so far.

^^ I have heard if you are not careful this can eat right through your paint if you let it sit too long. I didn't want to chance it.

I ended up just doing it the way I always have which leaves it looking pretty good, car wash soap + water. Just be sure to do it with the engine cool. I usually wrap any exposed wiring with plastic grocery back + tin foil to create a good seal.
