Simple Green is good stuff. Another, not sure if it is available in the US, is TEPOL. TEPOL is a cleaner used in restaurants for cleaning hoods & other greasy places in the kitchen.
I am not so concerned about the appearance of the engine as I am for it getting clean air & staying cool. Back in 2008 while preparing for our first trip to Alaska, & being concerned with bugs travelling through the grill & into the radiator fins, I made a home brew screen zip tied to the front of the grill. Simple household screen it is still there. It sure does the job at stopping bugs & is dead simple to clean with a snow brush.
The screen made no difference to cooling even on a 100 plus day headed to Vegas.
