How do you guys keep your engine bay so clean? I would love to clean mine up but I know it hasnt been cleaned at all by the previous owner and its got 57k miles on it. I have read people spraying engine degreaser on the car and then using a water hose? I am a little scared to do that as I think it could short out some of the electrical connections on the car. So what is your guys secrets? I am not talking about removing the cluster, I am just talking about cleaning it up.
I cover the exposed air filter with a bunch of towels, use the low pressure degreaser, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse with low pressure water
PRO: gets the engine bay extremely clean
CON: my motor is missing REALLY bad right now. Is it a result of the washing? I dont know
Here is what I do
BULLITT Engine Detailing
The steamers are cheep and I couldn't image cleaning under the hood without one now.
same thing happened to me. I ended up changing all the coil packs. I also has a friend that did this and had to change one coil pack. is there a way to wash the engine with water and not kill your coil packs? Mine prob. didnt need all them but with 100000 miles i figured it was time to change them anyway.

My wife bought me a steamer as a Christmas gift 2 years ago. I've never used it, now I'm psyched about it!
I spray my engine and bay down with simple green and let it sit for 5 minutes then gently hose it down. I then take my leaf blower and blow it off until all areas appear to be dry. I usually only to do this about twice a year.
