Default cleaner for my engine bay

What do you guys use to clean your engine bay? I want to wash my engine bay off so what is best to use? Thanks

Most of the guys on here use simple green and some kind of detailer after. I couldn't find the simple green engine cleaner so I used something called Gunk Engine Cleaner/Degreaser. It comes in a white can with a orange top, smells citrusy. It worked great for me and it can also be used as a detailer after you wash the engine bay. Just remember to cover your computer so it doesn't get wet.

Just remember, detailer spray will hold more dirt than a dry engine bay will. The dealer sprayed it all over my engine bay and it took me weeks to get the junk off.
