what do you guys use to clean your engine bay?

[killer5.0]

hand clean it or spray it on and hose it off?

I have had good luck in the past using "Engine Brite". A pressure washer works good at the carwash.

If it's pretty bad, cover the distributor up and hose it down with engine brite. Let it set for ~10min, then spray it down with the hose.

I hand clean mine. Spray a rag in simple green and scrub, then take wet rag and wipe up. Light rinse along the edges.

Simple green is the way to go. Put some in a spray bottle and mist everything down with it. Let it sit for a while, scrub, and rinse. Heavy grease spots might need a second application and scrub job, but they'll come clean.

Any degreaser. Dont buy that crappy engine degreaser in the spray can. Buy some actual degreaser like purple power, or simple green. you can even use that stuff on the actual paint in the bay. I wouldnt use it on the outside of the car, but it hasnt harmed my paint on the inside, and does one hell of a job. Get a sponge, a scrub, and some degreaser and with a hose you should be all set. You can use some tire shine on anything rubber to make everything black look real clean.

careful with purple power it will stain any aluminum parts in the bay if left on for too long, and it will eat the paint of the engine bay

I dont know on show engines, but there is a degreaser called B52. It will make a stock engine look like new.
