cleaning engine compartment

Alright, Just wondering the best way to get this a little neater???

I don't want to use a high pressure washer, maybe light pressure washer, with a bit of soap in the mix? What's your thoughts?

I'll have more images in another thread of yesterdays events!!!

If I were to get her that clean...well I don't think that'll ever happen. That looks nice and purdy!!! Heck when I got it she looked almost that bad and was never wheeled...Just not taken care of. Some day when she gets a total rebuild might get close to the clenleness that you got there.

we used to spray 409 on the engine let it soak a few min then spray off with water....dunno if it will work on all that mud though but it worked great on mild dirt and grease buildup
