Default Keeping engine paint looking new

How and what product do you guys use on the CVO engine paint to keep them looking new?
Is it easier or more difficult than the wrinkle black?
I've had terrible luck with the wrinkle black and eventually just give up.

On my wrinkle black I used the S100 Engine Bright. WD40 worked for any quick removal of any staining when needed. On the granite grey I've been using Windex. Sometimes I hit it with a detailing spray on my chrome cleaning days. The CVO motor sure cleans up easier IMO. Might be because it's smoother.

PAM like the 'ol lady uses in the kitchen. Spray can is easy to apply. Won't discolor or burn off and lasts a long time. Used it since the 1980's.
