Any tips for cleaning the engine bay?

just avoid sprayig water all over anything electronic, and if you do give it time to dry. That engine gunk stuff has people goin crazy but ive never had much luck unless you really scrub and use a high pressure hose nozzle to spray off. If you have access to a pressure washer thats the way to go. Also be careful about getting water into any open crankcase areas such as if the dipstick is not fully in or something silly like that

I have used BlackMagic engine degreaser/cleaner and it worked beautifully, I could see the factory paint again, lol. I never had luck with Gunk's, it just didn't get the bad stuff off. If the can says its ok to spray on electrical things then yea try it, but like CyFi6 said, be careful what you spray and let it dry for a while.
