Cover the air box with foil. Run the engine for about 5 minutes, before putting foil on. Spray the engine bay with a natural cleaning agent, I use Zymol Strik. Let the product sit for about 5 minutes. Rinse. If it's really dirty, spray down engine again after rinse and soak, use a soft brush to aggitate things, then rinse again. Wipe dry using a microfiber towel.
