I just realized that the car show is tomorrow and I haven't begun to detail my car yet. My concern is the engine compartment. I've never actually given it a good cleaning so it's a little dirty. I need to know what is VITAL to do to it b4 the show. Like I said I'm short on time so I'm doing on what is necessary. Thanks.

Power wash it and spray it all down with Formula 2001. Let it sit for a little while and then give the plastic parts a good wipe down with a soft rag. That's the quick way to detail an engine bay.
