Depends how far you want to go. You can use the autoglym engine bay cleaner first and clean it off with water.
If you want the concours look its bits off, clean, repaint and then replace.

i give my self all day to do the engine,i give it a steam clean then i polish all the visible white paint eg top of arches around suspension turrets,battery tray etc etc,i then normally buff up my samcos(baby wipes 
) to get the water marks off then i use autosol on all my crome&stainless 
. if you give it a good going over the 1st time then all youll have to do is keep on top of it once a week(espesially if your driving in this weather!)
