Default Engine Degreaser Suggestion

Hi,
I'm planning to clean my engine coz its very dirty and oily. Any suggestion of what kind of product to use or DIY? I'm asking this because there's a lot of electrical wiring and i don't want to mess up on anything.
thank you in advance

You can start with "Simple Green" spray and a bunch of rags. Simple Green (diluted solution) won't hurt anything. Then, go from there.

Simple green is an excellent choice, great recommendation C-Stone.

Having washed my RX300 engine bay many times, you can see one episode here, https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...ate-parts.html

There are so many out there available from any auto supply store, just spray them on and wash off with a garden hose, the wiring is going to be fine, I do them all the time.
