I used the Armor All wipes to clean the plastic cover and basically anything plastic (airbox) and the rubber hoses, etc. For the nasty gunk crap I used a toothbrush, wire brush, paper towels, ArmorAll wipes too. I didn't use any spray degreaser stuff because the wire brush got rid of all the bad stuff that I could reach and you have to rinse it off usually. I don't like the thought of soaking my engine in water, it'* not really good and you have to be careful. The eninge must be cool too.
My engine is extremely clean considering I didn't steam clean or anything like that. I don't want to deal with covering the TB and stuff to protect from sprays and contaminants getting in the engine so I did it all step by step and by hand.
I have my own car detailing business and have done others' engines the same way.

i love how they look but the front whitewalls are hard to keep white(dam break dust) i just need to find some where to get the hub cap im missing (gm wants $200 for 1) so i need to find it cheap, ive tryed junkyards buttheir hard to find, i guess it was an option that cost alot when people bought them new so their kinda hard to find in my area. and i like the grandma look cuz cops ignore me(2 cars speeding a fast looking car and me who is the cop gonna choose 
)
