As an earlier person replied--a mild compound--such as 3m micro finishing rubbing compound followed by handglaze should restore the gloss. Basically-what has happened is that the solvents in the engine cleaner have damaged or dulled to be more precise the top coat or surface of your paint. By using a light compound-you can take the area down a bit to undamged or less damged paint--and then the handglaze will put the needed gloss in that newly exposed paint. I detail cars for a living--and --think you should be able to restore your finish to an acceptable level--good luck--and take your time
