Engine bay Cleaning???

I've always been pretty good at cleaning both the interiors and exteriors of cars, But i've never really payed much attention to cleaning the engine bays. What does everyone use to clean their engine bays with??

I'm inbetween Camaros right now, and I'd like to keep up with the engine bay as well on my next one..

Simple Green - spray it all over the engine compartment, then wait a minute or two, then hose it off with a light spray of water. I say light because you don't want to use a hard heavy stream of water under high pressure and risk getting water past the weatherpak connectors and into the ecm or any other electrical ciruits.

Took 15 minutes to do both of my cars, if that much....

Stoner Trim Shine works wonders under the hood. It will make your engine bay look better than new. First use some degreaser and wait a few minutes, and then wash with a hose and then wipe everything down, and spray some Stoner Trim Shine and you wont be dissapointed.
