Run the wires so they look more stock (like the blue one around the shock tower). You'd be surprised how organizing wires and hoses will improve overall appearance.
Do a general engine bay wash (instructions are on this board and several others, but basically use minimal rinse water necessary, and don't drench alternator, compressor, etc...). Use a cleaning chemical dependent on the needs (car wash soap if just generally dusty; orange degreaser or Simple Green type on greasey crud). Different sized brushes will be very helpful. Blot up water to help dry.
You could polish/wax paint, and dress hoses/wire harnesses with dressing.
Once clean, it is easy to maintain if you just wipe things down about once a month or so.

exactly what Dave says.....What I like to do sometimes is use a can of compressed air to get out some water where a dry terry towel can't get. You can buy a pack of 4 at Costco for $11.
