m235 has so many grooves under hood and all the gunk and slushes are pooling.
any idea?
My engine bay I only do a full clean about twice a year because the car is garaged & it doesn't seem to get too dirty. However:

First plastic bag & tape off any electrical looking areas but don't panic most stuff is able to get wet in there, then I use my Uber foam cannon with Adam's strip wash mixture (most soap mixtures will be fine), then go over with some Boars Head detailing brushes especially in the trouble areas, pressure wash all soap off with a wide spray, then dry in all the nooks and crannies with an electronic leaf blower to ensure no water is left sitting. Then a quick one over with some detail spray & microfibers.

I recommend leaving the car running while you do this and for a few minutes after to ensure no water sits in with the spark plugs and will evaporate as it can cause a bit of light rusting in there.
