Basically, you don't want to use anything too aggtessive, as it will scar the aluminun block and heads. Simple Green and Greased Lightning Auto will work great. Just dilute properly. Depending on how dirty, you can keep it strong, or make it weaker. Always wise to spray it down with water first, so the chemicals don't bond permanently to your car!

Tire wet works good on the hood after is been cleaned, simple green for the fenders and everything else, and tire wet for the black plastic.
