I'm naughty.  I use a Pressure Washer.  If you know where NOT to spray it, you cant really go wrong.  Just avoid the Alternator and A/C Compressor.

I use neat TFR (Traffic Film Remover) but not the crap you get at MotorFactors in pressurized spray tins..... proper stuff that hurts your skin.  Use a squirty bottle to spray it liberally all over the bay, then Jet Wash off.  Finish the plastic bits with Silicone Spray, and the hoses with Bumper Gel.... Jobs a good 'un.  :y
