What could I use to clean the engine so it doesnt have that corroded look to it? The metal looks blotchy and dirty but when I try to wipe it off with something nothing happens...the rest of the car still looks beautiful except the engine block.

Powder coat makes a nicer colour but yours looks very rough compared to mine
