17,000 miles, but looks new!

I used a bottle of degreaser and just carefully sprayed most plastic, metal and rubber hoses. Wiped it clean with a rag...

One recommendation I have if you ever spend any amount of time cleaning your engine bay: pull out the rubber seal that seals the edge of the hood along the windshield, and clean the plasic gutter that channels water to the sides. I noticed a TON of debri - sticks, parts of leaves, other vegetation, bugs, etc. I also armoral'd the plastic gutter and the rubber seal, as well as all ruber hoses (after de-greasing them.)

nice job! how long did it take you?

[cbecker333]

I was chatting with my family and having a drink at the time, so it ended up taking about 40 minutes. I could have been done in 30 if I worked a lil' harder...

I clean my engine every 2 weeks and it takes me about 5 minutes.

I just spray the whole engine with simple green and hose it with a power hose at a do it your self car wash. I then use an air compressor to dry it and eliminate any water spots.
