step 3 - use a body brush (yes the same one i use on my wheels) to agitate the dirt and grease - on hard spots, use some elbow grease and appropriate brushes (toothbrush etc)

step 4 - rinse the bay with a pesticide sprayer and water (i use distilled water so water spots are less likely to show up on all the surfaces)

step 5 - repeat step 1

step 6 - Dress engine bay with product that isnt bad for rubber (dont use tire shine) - let product sit

step 7 - wipe off excess product

step 8 - take pictures!

or if u want i can do it for you
I would add: dilute the simple green or use orange engine degreaser if necessary

if the engine isn't greasy, then just hose it off with slow running water, then let it dry and apply 303 (I use 303 you can use others)
