Default Spring Cleaning

spring has finally arrived here in Chicagoland, so I can finally keep my car clean for more than a day. The problem is my engine bay is filthier than a camels ***. I was wondering if anyone had some tips on good products and good methods to get the engine bay really clean, like bling bling

Cover the distributor and the air filter and take it to a power wash and spray it, don't spray any light bulbs though.

They sell stuff called CD2 Engine Detailer, it works really well, looks like it was done in a dealership, makes it all look brand new!

I usuially just use a can of foamy engine brite, some paper towels. Then avoid spraying the dist. cap and electronics and hose 'er down. If it's really sick use a nylon brush and cleaner, then paper towel or hose.

wrap the dizzy, and stay away from electronics with excessive water. we use SLAM at my place and it isnt paint or metal, it runs off. it will hurt paint if it stays on there like an hour but i SLAM my engine everytime i change the oil.
