    I've tried a few things but elbow grease is always needed.I need something for all the nooks and crannies that won't eat the paint but, can be washed off.I want it to look like the left side of the pics.

    Use Scrubbing Bubbles bathroom cleaner on the engine and bay. Let it soak for 15 minutes and wash off. Won't hurt and will remove alot of grime.

    Purple degreaser works wonders if you're willing to scrub a little.

    even if it was 3 or 4 a bottle I would still use it !! but at a $1 for a spray bottle and cleaner cant go wrong with that and then 32oz for a buck... shiiiiiiit

    I tried this stuff today and It worked pretty good (and I didnt scrub just sprayed and rinsed). Hopefully with it clean I can find where my oil leak is.
