What's everybody using nowadays to give the engine and engine compartment area a good cleaning? In the past, I've tried spraying with Purple Power and then using a pressure washer...seemed to do the job ok but I'm open to new suggestions.  I've thought about using some kind of cleaner/degreaser again, and then steaming. I've seen people take their trucks to the coin operated car washes, and using the wand they'll spray the engine area down with the car wash's degreaser and then select steam and hit it with steam from the wand. Anybody every try that? Just wondering how effective it is.

I find oven cleaner from the wifes cupboard then wash off with garden hose.Takes the grease off the rear ends and trans.with no problem. just let it soak for a few minutes after spraying on. Practice makes perfect.
