I use a rag and WD40, spray and wipe the metal bits
then I ArmourAll all the rubber/plastic bits.

yeah clean ur throttle with carby cleaner or throttle cleaner .. same shiet.. and as for ur engine.. i reckon use petrol or degreaser. and as for the vtec solenoid are u gonna open it and clean inside it aswell or jsut the outside cause if u do clean the inside . i do not advise u to use petrol or carby cleaner on the inside becasue it will cause the seal to go puffy.. then u woudl have to buy a new one

WD40 or carb cleaner. Any de-greaser works. I use Dawn dish soap on everything as it isn't harmful to anything and washes off with water. Work great on the whole car.

Easyoff BAM is pretty good for shitty engine bays i find, spray it on, give it a poke and scrub with a dishwashing brush then hose it off.
