Engine bay cleaner??

soak the engine bay in simple green for a lil while then spray the hell out of it then dried it with a leaf blower.
I use Purple Power (similar to Castroll Clean but cheaper) spray, and then rinse off with a regular hose. Then I use a microfiber cloth to clean the horizontal surfaces I can reach. It really helps it look better, but I really just want it to be cleaner in case I have to work on it. I heard that a pressure washer was a no no underr the hood. Forces water in places it shouldn't go.
black magic engine bay cleaner worked really good. but if you have a diy painted vc then tape it off or something because it left little spots on mine but it really worked good.
I dislike the greasy look and feel of silicone spray. In my opinion, the best engine detailing product out there is CD2 Engine Detailer. It does a fantastic job of making things look new again without the greasy silicone look. Here's a link to a nice write-up a friend of mine did on using it.

VC? What dat is?
Ah yes. Should have known that!
Also shouldn't this be moved to the detailing section since it is not specific to 6th gen cars?
x2 i use it.
yeah. sorry. vc=valve cover
I've never used an engine cleaner, what should I NOT spray. or what should I cover before cleaning it other than the alternator
if you have an open filter, that an obvious one. i always cover my distributor as well. also if you dont have a fuse box cover, cover it. thats the main stuff.
you really got to be careful with pressure washers. they can force water through small areas. i always just use a low pressure garden hose. a pressure washer could force water into your dizzy, or even into the spark plug tubes.
