What to cover when spraying?

[pomme]

I am new to engine cleaning and have never done it before. When i looked under the bonnet the other day i did think it was very dirty.

So i was thinking of hosing it down, but obviously need to cover a few things up. Ive put up two pics of what my engine is like, although not my one. If someone could ring what needs to be covered and then post back up that would be really really nice.





After i have rinsed it off what products do you suggest i use, a degreaser?

Cheers

You may want to do a "search" for detailing your engine. This topic has been posted numerous times. There are different ideas and suggestions.
