I believe the basics are these:
1. Cover up important electrical bits and any openings for the air intake. Plastic bags, old shower caps, plastic cling wrap, and masking tape come in handy for this.
2. Gently spray engine bay and contents with water.
3. Spray entire engine bay and contents with engine degreaser. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
4. Gently spray engine bay and contents with water. Let dry.
5. Apply engine detailer finish (choosing one safe for paints, plastics, etc.)
Am I missing anything? Any tips or tricks for efficiency, ease, etc.?
