Get you a can of spray on engine degreaser, Go to a do it yourself ca rwash, spray the engine and engine bay with degreaser, then rinse it clean.

Autogylm Engine bay dresser is the best thing I've used, just use a small hardish paintbrush to get into the little cracks

used toothbrushes work wonders for certain hard to reach places (and according to my dentist I have to buy a new one every two months!)
