Can you suggest anything to clean the grease/oil off of all the wiring in engine bay?

Is a product I highly recommend.  Read up on it.  Sherwin-Williams sells it, don't know who else does though.

Degreaser and a pressure washer

Besides the pressure washer Vile listed... I've used everything from Dawn detergent to Purple Stuff mixed with warm water and then used a rag and scrubbed the gunk off the wiring.

Dishsoap with a plastic bristle brush like a toothbrush or the plastic/brass ones you can buy in stores.

Brake clean and a rag works good too. I've actually used gasoline too.

Not on wiring but for hard parts, purple power mixed with diesel fuel works great.
