Spring is around the corner so full detail will be happening soon. Over the years I've used Sonus Motorkote, 303 Aerospace, Hyper-Dressing and numerous LSP's on engine bay plastics. All worked very well. I recently came across Koch Chemie Motorplast. Koch Chemie is a German based chemical company as most of you probably know with a HQ's now in Georgia USA. I consider them more of a "serious" brand with no flashy marketing. Purely science driven.
I was on the fence with Motorplast because it looked similar to many of the water based dressings I've used in the past, all of which worked well. However, Motorplast can withstand temps up to 480F degrees and is Diamler approved. In addition to that, you can use it on bed liners, wheel wells and tires. The higher temperature properties of it makes it last much longer on the engine bay, where heat normally destroys the water-based products rather quickly.
I contemplated on coating the engine bay with Gyeon Trim, however, you can really get into all the cervices when coating an engine bay. With a spray on self leveling product, you can liberally spray the engine bay down and it will dry on it's own to a non-stick, non greasy touch. Additonally, you can use an air blower and get the product into all areas of the engine bay.
"Naturally shiny, water-displacing conserver for engines, housing parts, rubber hoses and power units of cars, commercial vehicles, etc., with pleasant fragrance. Treated parts regain their new appearance. The complete drying (no lubricating film) prevents dirt sticking. The power units are protected from corrosion and environmental factors by the permanently elastic protective film. Suitable for use on dry and wet surfaces. Temperature-resistant to 250°C. With Daimler approval."

It got great reviews from all the usual YT detailers as well.
This is a product that gets universal praise. I'm looking forward to trying it. I ordered their S0.02 sealant, interior cleaner and GSF soap, all of which get great reviews.
These are the results you can expect:
