I clean the underside of the hood when I clean my engine. I usually hose the under side of the hood down, Spray some Diluted Soimple green on the underside of the hood and go over it with a soapy sponge. I then hose it off and dry. If your as crazy as I am, and I hope you arent, I also wax the underside of the hood. I usually do this b4 a show though.
