I'm trying to get my engine compartment in my mustang as clean as I can. it has this nasty caked on grime that just doesn't want to give. these are pics of what I started with:

and these are of my progress so far:
I have some chrome stuff on order but I'm still trying to get it as clean as I can before any of it goes on. I have been using Simple Green like its going out of style and its doing an ok job but I need better results. I'm thinking I may try a steam cleaning next. I'm thinking I may try to repaint the engine compartment(I'll just buy an airbrush kit or something) but I'm thinking about all the taping I'll be doing and thats swaying me a bit towards not doing it. I need to repaint all my a/c lines because they aren't looking so good. basically for the moment though, I am not going to quit until I get every bit of that gunk you can see in the pics(the dark crap on the red) out of the engine bay.
anyone have any tips on how I can get this nasty stuff off for good?
