Spray it with WD40. Will prevent rust and loosen up any dirt clinging in there. make sure you do this when the engine is cold.
What I usualy do is spray wd40 than come back 30 min later and spray the engine with a hose at full presure. That will knock off the grease type dirt. Than after it dries off do a light spray coating of the wd40 again. Most used car dealers spray wd40 in the engine bays to make em look new and in good condition.
