If you saw my engine bay it'd be pretty obvious that I've never done it before lol. So what should I cover up besides the dizzy? I'm going to spray it down with simple green and hit it with a pressure washer.

 

simple green is your friend.

id hold off on the pressure washer.. that could have bad effects on electronics.
just scrub that ****

 

simple green

but im too lazy to buy it
my friend details car for a living, he suggested
degreaser w/ water in a spray bottle
let it sit, then hose it down with the house hose

 

Will do.

Steam Clean/Blast is the way to go.

 

Once you have all the dirt and grime off spray the entire engine compartment with tire foam. Ya know the spray on and watch kinda stuff. Not the one you have to wipe off. I did this last time I washed my car and the results were unbelievable. a week later it still looks good. Good luck

 

they make engine detailer that you can buy for like 2.99 at pep boys! it works good and its for the engine bay!!

 

To clean my engine bay I use Meguiars APC+ cleaner and spray it all over the engine bay. I let it sit for a couple of minutes and then I get a brush to clean the problem areas. I then spray down the bay with a regular hose. Next, I spray down the bay with CD-2 Engine dressing. I also use some 303 on the plastic. Lastly, dont forget to put some wax/sealant on the painted areas.
