Default getting orange radiator stuff off engine

i read through the engine cleaning post, and got some good notes but i dont think it answers the problem i have. Some stupid pipe from the engine exploded and shot radiator fluid all over the engine bay now when i drive all i can smell is radiator fluid. So what can i use to clean this **** off my engine and the wrest of the bay?

I'd try some Simple Green, or any GOOD heavy duty degreaser. Just keep it off the exterior of the car. Chances are it got soaked into the hood liner, and will stink for a while. Try the degreaser, and maybe some Lysol spray on the liner, also.

wayne is probibly right, it could have soaked into the hood liner insulation thing.... if it still stinks after ya clean it, you could look into getting a new hood liner from a junkyard.... or just wait for the smell to eventually burn itself off...
