Yeah, just some simple Engine Brite or Simple Green or something. I would just spray it on with a sprayer or the spray can and power wash it off. That's what I'm about to do to my engine bay.

If you're worried about water under the hood...
Something I found that works well on the engine is to buy a couple of large cans of WD40. Spray the engine down and drive to the do-it-yourself car wash. Spray the engine compartment down again with WD40, wait a couple of minutes and wash it all off. The WD40 is a decent solvent and if you spray a bunch on the distributor and other electrical stuff, it was developed to displace water. I've done it a bunch of times and it works great. I've never flooded the distributor (but I don't hit it with a lot of water)

Avoid using Simple Green on anything aluminum... your t-case comes to mind.
Why do you say this?
I use it on my Harley all the time and it doesn't do anything to the aluminum except make it shine.
