My engine area is VERY dirty. There's a lot of dust and grease all over the place and I found a spray can of degreaser in the storage room of my house. The instructions say to spray everything and then turn the car on and leave it on for 10 minutes. It then says to turn it off and spray the whole thing with water to get the stuff off. How effective is the degreasing thing? Will I see a huge difference? My main concern is spraying the whole thing... I don't think I should spray the whole engine compartment. Some parts must be covered up before I spray the thing... What parts must I cover up that shouldn't get sprayed with degreaser and/or water???
ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED :-) --------------------  |

I use autozone brake cleaner on these types of things. It works really well, but you have to be careful were you spray it. Also make sure your engine is cooled off before you start or you could catch it on fire (most degreasers or flamable). Careful with were you spray water too, but everyone else has said that already.
