Default Black part of the engine

Anyone know what the best product is to get water spots and smudges of the black part of the engine??

I use Purple Slice Wet Wet. It's an aerosol, spray it on and leave it. Just wipe off over spray on chrome. Leaves it looking real nice. Smells like bubble gum.

I like Pig Spit for that application. Apply it the first time and wait a few days and do it again - it gets darker and richer. Nice stuff.
