Best way to clean your engine bay?, And promising way too. Options

[ExSane]

Hey guys, as some of you know already the Orlando 6GC meet is this Friday and I want my engine buy cleaned out. What is the best way to clean your engine bay without messing stuff up? I've heard people pressure washing theirs and stuff like that. Also spraying degreaser and then hosing the whole bay. The only problem I am scared of is "rust" due to the water. So I plan on doing it the hard way and getting a tooth brush and some rags and towels. Just need some help to make it less work for me. Thanks guys. I appreciate it ahead of time.

Oh yeah one more thing. My valve cover is painted and as well as my radiator and intake pipe.

run the engine so its hot........(then turn it off) spray on plenty of degreaser and pressure wash it off taking care around things like the distributor and electronic gismo`s.....then spray the wole thing with WD40 it helps get rid of the water and gives it a nice shine....the heat from the engine dries off all the water pretty quickly.....have done my engine bay this way several times with no problems starting the car afterwards....always with pretty good results.
