I can get my engine looking MINT!
... because I wipe the engine off each time after I wash the car, so it never really gets bad.
... I use Orange Glow cleaner (but any MILD degreaser will do). Don't use harsh cleaners.
... get lots of q-tips, old toothbrushes.... and tooth picks. And, roll up my sleaves and get busy!
... I then use a high-gloss tire gel on the hoses, but I buff to a satin glow.
... If the shock area and lower/upper mounts are REALLY greasy, I'll use some Gunk Degreaser in an arosol (sp?) spray can. It's potent stuff, I wouldn't use it in the engine compartment.
