Engine bay degreasing

I'm about to degrease and clean up my engine bay. I'm wondering if there any areas I should be careful around or put a plastic bag over. Taking a look around, there doesn't appear to be anything that could be damaged from the degreaser/water. Just want to be sure I'm not about to soak something exposed I can't see from the top.

Please watch the engine bay electrical, take your time, if you do pressure wash, you have to be very very careful. I would not do that unless you done it before. If you can get a small brush it helps.
