Engine Bay Detailing help

Anyone have a link to detailing instructions for the engine bay? Stuff I should watch for, etc.

I know there was a write-up on it at some point, but I can't find it anymore.

Thanks

1. spray down engine bay with Gunk Foaming Degreaser
2. wait 10 minutes
3. hose off
4. start car and let it idle for a few minutes to get the excess water off



now if you want a REALLY beautiful clean engine bay....between steps 3 and 4 spray engine bay with the foaming tire cleaner. its takes away any remaining dirt and leaves the engine bay shiny.

I believe it is CD-2 that has a product out that consists of two cans for detailing an engine. The first is a cleanser and the second coats and shines the engine bay. I know I bought mine at AutoZone for about 10 bucks and it worked great!

EDIT: Here's a link to the CD-2 product
