From the picture I might try some GUNK engine cleaner? A good stiff brush?

dig out the big stuff with a putty knife, screwdriver, stiff brush with kerosene then after it starts coming clean a shot of spray brake cleaner works well

How close are you to the car wash? Spray it down good with any good degreaser. Take it too the car wash for a good high pressure rinse.

| Spend a little time with a pressure washer and a few cans of engine degreaser & simple green and she'll be clean in no time.
