I use degreaser for the engine bay and then water.

But yea, when I did seafoam, oil change, thermoblock and intake install all in one week, it was pretty dope to see the performance gains and a lean running engine..

I wash the engine with a degreaser while engine is cool let it sit for 10-15 mins
hose it down,go for a spin come back and dress it up with tire foam or engine dresser.Looks better than new.....very very very clean! Will post pics later.
