Engine Brite Foam spray
Pressure washer
soft-bristle paint brush

Just keep water away from the filter, battery, and alternator.

I used Diluted Grim Reaper, a EZ Detail brush and finished with 303 Aerospace. Took me about 20 minutes. I have 56k miles on mine.

/\ I covered the CAI filter and the maf connection along with the alternator. That was about it. I didn't use a very heavy stream of water either, just enough to rinse off the degreaser.
