Ray,

I use a quality car wash solution.  Garden pump up  sprayer full of car  
wash solution (I use No 7--used to be Dupont now  something else--in the 
silver  
can or another mild car wash product)  to spray on the engine compartment  
then follow up with clean water  in the same pump up sprayer to rinse.  
This  
is low pressure  cleaner so you may have a few spots to touch up.  The most 
  
important part is that this is a gentle cleaning that will not leave spots  
or  damage sound paint and electrical connections (you may have to  dry up 
a 
few  places).

My youngest son just used this process  to clean his first car--a Chevy  
Cobalt--with 60K.  The engine  compartment came out looking display room  
fresh.

Also, if you finish up with soft water, it is less likely to leave  spots.
