It seems to work great. I did it before I put my car in storage, hoping she looks and smells wonderful when I get her back.

Rather than use baby oil, use mineral oil. That's what baby oil is without the baby smell perfume.

I'm terrible at detailing... most times I just do the drive-thru carwash and hand dry with a chamois.
Interior gets dusted and vacuumed, and soapy water on the white vinyl only where it needs it. Under the hood just gets repainted when I replace the engine every few years.

Why would one replace a motor when it gets dirty?

Dirt has nothing to do with it... each successive engine has had ~50% more power than the previous one.
I usually make it look pretty when I have things apart, but then it gets dirty the first time I get caught in rain, which is typically within 2 weeks of having it finished.

Detailing your car
Other tips for detailing in the home garage include using denatured alcohol for sap and bug stains, fine-grade steel wool on chrome accents, a Christmas tree brush to get the inside of wheels and a non-ammonia-based cleaner for navigation screens.
