That is a good looking engine bay! I have the Dlux on the way for the trim, P21S arrived yesterday. Thanks all for recommendations.
Nice choices! You can also use DLUX on the head and tail lamps, windscreen scuttle panel, fog lamp surrounds, wing mirror arms and grill openings.

A couple of points on DLUX application, you will need to clean the plastic surfaces very well prior to apply the coating. I cleaned mine with an All-Purpose-Cleaner and detailing brush, making sure to thoroughly rinse the APC residue afterwards.

You will then also need to wipe over the surfaces generously with an IPA solution such as CarPro Eraser, Gyeon Prep or Chemical Guys Wipe Out. From memory, the CarPro instructions for DLUX recommend allowing the trims to dry for 20-30min to unsure all the IPA has evaporated and the plastic is completely dry.

Also, you will need some at least 3 or 4 microfibre cloths for this job. It's important to never use those towels again on any painted surface. The cured coating residue in the towel will potentially mar the paint. You also don't want ultra plush towels for this task, short pile and lower GSM are required for coatings. Something like these is what you want -

If you want a more thorough how to, I wrote a piece on DLUX application here -
