Zip ties are a wonderful tool. I've used my fair share over the years.

Tired of your engine bay looking like a bowl of spaghetti? Or losing track of one wire while working? Try this simple cable management trick.
What will you need? Zip ties. That’s it–no special tool or material, just good old dependable zip ties.
Step 1: Gather all the wires you want to manage within your work area and loop them together with a single zip tie. Leave it loose.
Step 2: Around that original zip tie and in between each wire, loop another zip tie at a right angle–kind of like you’re making a tic-tac-toe board. Repeat as many times as needed and tighten as desired.
Now, admire your work because you’re done.
That’s right–in just two easy steps, your wires are now separated and secured. And if you want to change something, all you have to do is loosen or cut the zip ties. No hassle–you can even reuse them.

Zip ties are incredible.
They can either make a project look very professional or very amateur, depending on their use.
Was on a roadkill episode years ago. They did it for plug wires.
Loosen zip ties?!? What black magic voodoo is this?? Or are they some fancy option 74x more expensive than regular ones?
In reply to GT :
Hahaha, I use a small flat head screw driver to loosen mine.
