Engine Bay Cleaning/Detailing

What do u fellows use to detail your engine bays. I do not want to tire foam cleaners nor engine cleaners.
Water + soap + sprayer?

Re: Engine Bay Cleaning/Detailing

I lightly wet my bay, spray some neatral cleaner then use a small brush (paint brush will even work) to aggitate, then rinse. I then use a soft washmitt to get anything left, rinse, then use a leaf blower to blow all water out and off.
Top it all off by spraying some KochChemie Motorplast. Engine bay looks great!!! Going forward keeping it clean is fairly easy, Motorplast sort of seals. Easy to just wipe dirt away.
