I just use simple green and lots of rags. I use a vinyl preservative (not armor all) on the fuel rail covers to make them shiny.

Tire Foam
I use Tire Foam....spray it on, let it sit for 10 minutes, and then wipe off any residual.

I remember reading somewhere here that someone uses Pledge to detail under the hood. Haven't tried it, but it makes sense - sort of. Plus you'll get that "lemony fresh smell."
