professional secret technique without the smell of kerosene from gunk with common stuff you already have.
5 min engine detail- easy under and 5 bucks

1)spray entire cold engine and bay heavily with degreaser(la's totally awesome works great but any Green/orange/purple s*** will do)
2)have a brush handy and brush over every surface reachable to agitate cleaner and loosen grime.
3)garden hose down your degreaser in engine bay completely(high pressure not needed)
4)while wet, immediately aerosol spray tire shine FOAM all over everything heavily.
5)dont wipe or dry -close hood drive car - next time you look engine will dry and shining making it look like you wiped every hose and piece of plastic to perfection

works on any car-*always be careful of open air filters and breathers*(older cars)

I use Adams apc, mixed 1:1 with water.

Hose off big stuff with water, hit with APC mix, use wheel brush, wheel woolie, and lugnut brush to get in bad spots. Rinse off, compressed air to dry and then dress with VRT and in and out spray. Always works great!

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

At my detail shop we use a hose to knock off most dust then simple green use a brush to get all the large areas then dry with a microfiber. Or airhose for pesky spots
