Engine Bay Detail - First Try

I made my first attempt at an engine bay detail this afternoon. Basically, I just diluted some simple green into an empty Prima spray bottle, sprayed it onto a cloth, and wiped down what I could reach. I did the underside of my bonnet as well. Everything looks pretty clean. Certainly better than it did before. And, it's nice not greasing up my hands fishing for the bonnet release lever.



I know, I know...everything's stock.

Looks good. You certainly get an A for your effort. I wonder what suggestions others have for cleaning under the hood ( bonnet)?
