Simple Green and a wire brush. Then hit it with some tire shine and you're golden. Make sure to cover up your battery, air filter and distributor before hand.

Takes 20 seconds looks like hours of work, trust me I've done it with paper towels and armor all, it really does look the same and takes 20 times longer.

I would detail peoples bays for 10 bucks back in hs after I learned simple green trick

I'm sure you hated life after discovering Simple Green. I know the feeling though, the first time I tried it was with U-Haul truck wash and a small brush . Then I discovered the SG y0 and I can clean my bay at a moment's notcie.
