cleaning up the engine bay

What is a good cleaner to buy that will clean the dirt,oil,grease and crap off of my engine bay? I want something that not only cleans but will give a nice shine or glossy look when im done. Any ideas? What do you guys/gals use? I dont want to remove the engine and have it painted. Thanks in advance!

Just power wash it and use CD2 engine detailer.

Works pretty good
