So what's the best and/or the common ways of washing and cleaning the engine area?

Bottle of Simple Green, some shop towels and some engine de-greaser for the tough spots. 

 I use 80psi air to blow all the crap out of the engine bay, then attack it with de-greaser (doenst work though so i dont even know why i do this, NYC street grime is teh secret ingredient in truck bed liner) then water. Honestly though, the only time i wash my bike is after a rainy ride. other wise its usually 3 mins of a garden hose trying to get all the sand and pollon of it.

You should see someguys bike. that thing was never washed.

s100 & simple green. is amazing if you keep up with it. [coffee]

Extreme Simple Green (http://www.simplegreen.com/products_extreme_precision.php), and a thin soft pipe brush from home depot ($.45). I only use this on the negine and wheels. Then honda polish for wheels frame tank, and every other bit that should shine.

i've never seen the Extreme Simple Green  [thumbsup]
do you notice a difference, or is it the same stuff in a new package?

I found it by mistake at Home Depot, and it IS different stuff. I have used regular Simple Green before and this stuff is the shizzle! Very little effort to clean greasy road grimey parts.
