How do you Remove Engine Salt Stains

Nice Day to day and cleaned up the car.
Under the hood looking at the Engine and there is quite a bit of staining from road salt.
A freind of mine said to rub armor all on it remove the stains.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

i just use a pressure washer and car wash soap. or you could fill up a spray bottle with a 50/50 of soap and water and scrub it for a bit

just be sure to always keep the motor running whenever washing the engine compartment

I would try "CLR" or "Spray 9" with a toothbrush. If that doesn't work, use it with a small wire brush. It's only sodium chloride, so something has to work?
