Not bad for a camera phone shot. Nice color on the intake.

Really slick! I never thought a painted intake would look so good. Anything the car's color should be cleaned and waxed like Michael said. I would clean, then soak, all the black rubber and plastic with armor all, try to clean any zinc (like the strut washers, hood latch, fuel pressure reg) with something that cleans zinc. I dunno, maybe steel wool, or maybe there's special zinc cleaning formula? And no, my engine bay is not clean at all, the only thing I've done is the armor all and I started cleaning all the guards red. BTW your phone's digital pics are as good as my digital camera's
