I used engine brite, degreaser, and a scrub brush. Cover the distributor and filter with plastic.

you might want to go back and learn how to speak english first. Then think about asking that question again. Sorry, just gets a little annoying after awhile.

Oh dude, get over it. If you can understand his question than answer it.

1.high pressure spray your whole engine bay down once motor has cooled(stay away from distributor and cover intake with plastic bag-if you have an aftermarket intake.
2.spray the whole thing down with simple green and let sit for a few minutes
3.repeat step 1
4.repeat step 2
5.repeat step 1
6.spray down with armor all(everything) and let sit for a few minutes.
7.spray again with armor all and wipe it all off with a clean towel
8.you now have a bling bling engine bay.
*this is what I do everytime I clean my engine bay, and it comes out looking new everytime.

damn pat that is so clean.

Can i just use a regular lawn hose? where would i be able to find a high pressure water hose? kinda scared doing it myself.

All I have to do is cover my aem filter with a plastic bag? and should I cover the distributor with a bag as well?

When I clean my engine bay I don't only cover my intake and my distributor. I also cover some wires just incase.

Go to your local spray and wash. You know, the one you pay with quarters. They have high pressure sprayers. Cover your intake filter and distributor and you will be fine. Just follow the instructions above. I stole this method from Patrick. It works out great. Make sure to let your engine cool down. I usually clean my interior of something like that, while I am waiting. Good luck.

Simple Green and water, 1 part SG, at least 3 parts water.

Tooth brush, brush, rag, etc.

Or a high pressure wash, but be careful with that thing.
