I use simple green. Let it soak in for a good twenty minutes or so, then scrub it to loosen any stubborn dirt and then I use a pressure washer. Make sure the battery is disconnected and don't try to start the car until the engine bay has completely dried.

Re: cleaning motor (jdmboi86)
There is a really good thread on here somewhere... too lazy to look it up right now. It's easier just to explain what I do when I detail.
I personally use some mutipurpose cleaner diluted 30:1 because I buy a 5 gallon jug and it lasts me forever and it's strong as ****. I spray it on the engine bay and anything that is covered with grime/dirt. SPRAY IT ON WHILE IT's DRY! This helps beause it keeps the solution from getting diluted by more water. Then I hit it with my power washer. For a really dirty engine bay I spray it again with some MP cleaner but before I rinse the bay again I scrub it down with an assortment of brushes (toothbrushes work good!) and rags and whatever I can find that would help to clean.
Don't forget to cover up any electrical stuff.
I've heard of people using steam cleaners and I would like to try one to see how it compares/ how much easier it makes the job.
If I feel like it I spray some kind of silicone dressing on all the plastics and some belt dressing on the belt to keep it from squeaking (sometimes this happens after you remove a lot of grime and dirt).
