Simple Green, water, scrub brush & scotch brite

The spray-on engine bay cleaner stuff can start pitting the aluminum if you use it wrong or too much.

oh if you want to clean the block real well, i found that the armour all wheel cleaner (the rim shine, not the tire shine) workes VERY well

was just testing it on my engine block one day and it made it look awesome!

comes in a bottle like this
