I've had my car since it was relatively new and have made a practice of wiping down the engine bay at each wash. If there gets to be some grease on the motor, I use a rag and some Simple Green to take it off.
Other than that, I keep the car clean by washing it frequently.

I bought a hood seal to help keep the engine bay a bit cleaner.....it works. I also dust the bay every few days with a swifer duster or my California Mini duster. A little dusting every so often will prevent major cleaning!
