Degreaser, pressure washer, use a tarp for the electrical stuff.

He got it covered but then if you go over it with the armor all protectant whips it leaves a nice shine as well

The best way is to remove the engine & tranny then clean those components and then jump into the engine bay itself and clean it up.

But for most folks this is not practical. I have given up on trying to keep my engine bay clean considering my Neon is a daily driver. I do keep it reasonable but I'm not fanatical about it.

Really not nesscessary to remove the drive-train. Degreaser and a pressure washer and your in business. When pressure washing, make sure you get into all the small tight spots and up close!

or for a laugh just hook it up to a friends big dodge ram and dip the front into a pool filled with cleaning chemicals then take it out a dry it.

( yeah yeah yeah i know it would mess the engine up thats why i said for laughs, and it would be a stupid idea.)

soak in simple green, then pressure wash clean. spray tire shine on all the plastic.

Best Method IMO. I do it just like this, and my engine is clean enough to eat off of.
