Definitely Simple Green is a good product to use for the engine. I wouldn't use the wheel cleaner on the wheels though. Our wheels are clear-coated so just use regular car wash soap or the clear coat will get stripped off with those harsh wheel cleaners.

For the engine cleaning I cover up the battery, fuse box, and distributor just to be safe. Make sure to do it when the engine is cold.
