Just to support what everyone already said, you don't really need to use anything stronger than an APC on the engine bay. I personally use Chemical Guys All Clean + Citrus. If you have some smaller areas you want to get in, use an old toothbrush.
After you rinse (carefully) and dry (leaf blower is fine) you can get a MF towel and spray it with something like 303 Aerospace. Wipe down all of the black plastic with the rag. No need to douse any parts with spray that will make a mess everywhere. I find that it gives everything a nice clean look, without a lot of work, and makes subsequent cleanings even easier. Here are a couple of pics of my cars in which I have done exactly what I just described. (For reference, the VW has almost 90k miles on it.)
