I use a wet and dry rag. At most, I would just disconnect the battery, but that's a little overkill.
It's a hell lot harder than just hosing into the engine bay, but that method would scare the hell out of me...
*edit* I realize I may not have even been on topic.
I remember seeing a few full car wash threads, and people recommended covering the batteries, fuse box, plugs, airbox openings, etc. How they did it, I'm not sure. I think duct tape would work.

i take a black garbage bag and cover the alternator, battery, and ecu.
i then use blue painters masking tap to keep the bag tight.
I then use simple green on the motor. I go to town btw.
Then I scrub some of the really dirty parts.
Then rinse with hose. I have never had a problem with this.
I do however stay away from the can products like black magic engine degreaser
