I spray the degreaser ('engine brite', or whatever) on the warmed engine at home, then drive to the self serve car warsh. Step 1: Pull the distributor and wires. Step 2: Plug distributor hole.. a cork or bag/rubber band, what have you. Step 3: Give it hell with the highest pressure hot water the car wash has to offer. Try to stay clear of the fuse box and relays.

If car wash is busy, push car out when done, or crank it out with the starter. Dry off the plugs, electrical stuff (no biggie), replace distributor and hook the wires back up, and be on your way.

Wear clothes that you don't mind getting ruined. Lots of greasy back splash. Safety goggles are not a bad idea.
