Some may not agree with me but I've used Simple Green and some of the orange citrius stuff to cut oil and grease film.

I would bring mine to the self carwash, hit the engine bay with the degreaser, then scrub in down with the soap brush. Of course avoiding the battery and various connections. Then by the time I got home most of it would be dry so I would get a towel and finish off the spots and then hit the bay with some tire foam and SHABAM.
