I’ve been professionally detailing, reckoning, and selling cars since I was 16, and no one likes a dirty engine bay! Since I can remember we have used “Super Soap” its in a purple bottle, Soak down the engine bay in whatever grease cutter your wish, focus on the top of the motor, around the manifolds, and any other heavy grease build up areas they will be different on every car. I know its not rocket science but obviously you don’t want to spray directly in the air box or any electrical connectors or components. Turn on the high pressure and watch it melt away! Remember and kind of soap that cuts grease WILL eat your paint, so wash it off the paint immediately! I recommend doing it in a car wash, you don’t want all the junk to end up on your driveway! Wipe it down and leave the hood up for a little while you dry off the rest of the car, funny smells, misses, ticking, belt squeals, all that is normal. Smells are usually grease or soap on the manifolds and will go away, everything else should clear up after everything dries out.
