I cleaned my own. I did the following:
1. Go buy some gunk engine brite (I used the stuff with orange oil) and protectant (I've used both Armor All and Turtle Wax 2001 with good results).
2. Take off your plastic engine covers (clean and armor all them separately).
3. Spray the engine brite as instructed on the can.
4. Wait a few minutes for the cleaner to penetrate.
5. Hose it off and dry the engine the best you can with a towel. If you have a leaf blower - use it (even if you get strange looks from your neighbors
)
6. Liberally spray something like armor all all over the engine - avoiding the belts and alternator.
7. Wait at least 1/2 hour for the protectant to soak in (overnight works great if you have the time).
8. Hose it off again and dry.
9. Reinstall the plastic covers.
Your engine will look like new!
BTW - never use high pressure water on the engine. Use a hose with light spray - and only do this on a cold engine.

If you don't have a TL, you might not have a plastic engine cover.

There is no engine cover on ANY F series engine
LX/DX being an F22a1
(thiis has nothing to do with your question), I had a 91, so you can ask me your accord questions
