A degreaser works fine.
You can have a body shop repaint it with urethane, but, otherwise it's a pretty harsh environment.

lol... you can also use the ones at the car washes
Just don't pull the trigger. High pressure washes and engine electronics don't get along very well.

I got that, but the original question was what to use with the engine REMOVED. He's got more visible surface area now and buying degreaser spray cans gets expensive. Spraying it down with Simple Green or even some type of liquid dish detergent is less expensive. Granted they don't cut through everything as effectively as the spray, just cheaper. You might need to go over it several times to get it looking as good as it can.
Yep... Easy off.. I didn't believe it myself until I tried it. Wife, seems to be the brains in our outfit reasoned like this. Cooked on greasy in the oven = hot grease/oil on motor... Danged if she isn't right.
Be very careful with oven cleaner it can take paint off to if left on to long, also agree with KSCoyote,water(especially from a pressure washer) will almost certainly upset electronics,and could work out expensive. Best option is time and care clean everything by hand avoiding wiring etc. with anything damp
Need advice for Cleaning my engine bay
