Let it sit for a few minutes,i left mine for 15 mins.and start scrubbing with the long brush and with the tooth brush in tight spots.
water your engine again to remove loose grime(BONNET FIRST) and inspect for any grime left on the engine and apply degreaser to the whole engine again if you are not satisfied,and then water your engine.

You should be satisfied by now and if you have an air compressor, start removing excess water with it,till engine is fairly dry.
or let it dry it self if you don't have an air compressor.
