engine bay is a piece of cake. take care with the intercooler, alternator, fusebox, maf and if you have an induction kit. get a good degreaser. megs super degreaser if superb and makes gunk look like washing up liquid.
spray the bay with the product and agitate with a brush, i use a tooth brush as it gets into the nooks and crannies. start the engine, the heat will healp to break down the grease.
spray it again and leave for a few mins. then wash off with hose or jetwash. leave the engine running to dry it off. this way you shouldn't end up with blown fuses, misfires etc. then mop up excess water or blow off with a leaf blower or air compressor.
treat plastics with something like 303 aerospace protectant. makes it look all good and clean:
