gen 7 Best way to clean the engine bay

I tried searching with no luck. I really want to clean my engine bay up a little bit. What's the best way to do so? If you could give me some good products to use it would be greatly appreciated. Also if you have done it and have some before and after pics I would really like to see them. Thanks

There's a sticky at the top of the detailing forum, it should describe what you're looking for.

got to the carwash and use the engine degreaser on your warm engine, it works! avoid direct spray of distributor, plug wire ends and alternator.

I think I'm going to try using the Simple Green, either this weekend or next. I'll make sure to take some before and afters. The befores are going to be horrendous.
