Engine insulator cleaning

[Geebee]

Dumb question, but anybody know a good way to clean the engine bay insulator that's mounted on the hood?  I did some brushing and vacuuming out the dust, but I'd like to get it a little shiny. I don't know what the material is so.....

 

Take a look at the attachment

I have used foaming tire shine to make it look a little better.  The foaming action brings the dirt to the surface, and the shine gives it a matte finish.  Wipe it with a terry cloth work towel, but don't scrub it.

Thanks Michael.......I'll try that. What foaming tire shine did you use?

Its a synthetic fiber material that is pressed/molded into the shape. They are commonly used on under panels of vehicles also. They will absorb fluids and slowly drip out. I know, Ive done dozens of coolant leaks on cars with those under panels, the fluid just drips for days. So dont dont saturate it too much.
