I was wondering how often everybody cleans their engine off and what should I cover when I do clean it?

I have used Simple Green at full strength under hood on all of my vehicles for years. I just spray it on, and hose it off.

I usually put her in a tank top, short and soap her up real good then...... OH you mean the truck, I just use water. With 15K miles don't have enough oil or anything beyond just dust to worry about. - You had me all worked up there for a second..

Never. It really doesn't get that dirty, and there can be more harm than good from it.
