      by hand only
      you can use degreaser. I use 409, but only because thats what I happen to have in my garage. Actually I use 409 on pretty much anything. Sometimes you'll want to rinse off with water after you degrease.

                  I use the engine bright and after rinsed off, I use tire foam for all the hoses etc. and wipe them down to get them shinny. Works good.

                    yeah you can power wash it if you want, just if you have a cai or something, dont spray the water into it. but powerwashing does work pretty well, then use whatever you want to make everything shine and sparkle

                      I just use a degreaser then power wash it.
                      Just dont spray directly into the electronics coils ect...
