While I was under the car the other day taking out the CAGS and changing a fog light, I noticed that the underside of the engine is really really crappy looking. I can't tell if its rust, or built up dirt, or both:

Here's a bit of a different angle, though blurry

Then here's a look at the headers from the top down:

Aaaand finally, I also noticed my disk brakes up front and somewhat in the back are rusted as well:

Is there anything I can do to clean any or all of these things? I also noticed that quite a few of the other components under the car looked to have caked on dirt. Also with the disk brakes, I was going to paint the calipers so I figured when I did that I'd try and clean and polish the disks while I was at it.
And then also the engine... will a simple $5 bottle of degreaser from pepboys do anything, or is there somewhere I can take it to have them clean all that off? Or could I just get under there with a soapy brush and scrub everything? I dont want to screw anything up, but at the same time it really irks me that its all dirty like that.
