Default Cleaned Engine Bay & throttle body

Bought my car a couple weeks ago with 60k miles and me being an OCD type of guy, likes everything clean. So I decided to spend the weekend cleaning out the throttle body, MAF sensor, spark plugs, and finally detailing the engine bay. here is the results

****i apologize if the images are too big, this is my first post with images. pictures were taken with an iPhone 5.***

This is how it looked when i bought it






took off the throttle body only to find thick grease and dirt




Spraying only throttle body cleaner wasn't enough, had to really get in there to remove that grease. result..




Next, replace spark plugs with NGK
here are the stock plugs


Finally, after 2 cans of Gunk engine degreaser/handy dandy paint brush and a can of Gunk engine shiner, here are the result








Hood also had some thick dirt
