What do you guys find best to clean under the hood? I've wiped most of the dust off with cloth, but want to really clean in there. Any products/methods would be great help for me. Thanks in advance.

Get a garden sprayer, a gallon of distilled water, some Simple Green and a hose.

Yank the fuel rail covers off (the plastic GTO valve covers).

Start your GTO up cold and run for 45-60 seconds. Turn off. Spray the engine bay down with a weak mixture of Simple Green and distilled water. I'd say no more than 25% Simple Green. Then spray the fuel rail covers. For heavily soiled areas, use a foam jab brush to loosen stuff up.

While this mixture is sitting, empty your garden sprayer out, rinse with your hose and refill with distilled water. Be sure to empty the garden sprayer's hose out by spraying it on the ground until nothing but water comes out.

When ready, rinse the engine bay and fuel rail covers down with distilled water. If some gunk remains, hit it with your jab brush again and rinse. Drop your car's hood and immediately spray it with your hose to remove any stray Simple Green residue.

That should work just fine.

I use a micro fiber towel from walmart and some 409 as a degreaser. It cleans is great.

The best degreaser I have found is Spray Nine. Cleans everything.

I used this f21 tire foam.

1. Warn up engine
2. Spray lightly with water
3. Spray F21 all over engine
4. Let sit/soak
5. Spray off
6. Detail any part with microfiber
