Cleaning Engine Bay - Anything to watch out for?

[Jon-256]

Hey guys,

I was recently cleaning my car as i do once a week. I haven't properly cleaned the engine bay for ages and the first time i did it was literally just a quick once over with a microfibre. I was thinking about using a pressure cleaner but i don't want to fry any electronics. Is there any thing i should be careful of like specific areas or covering certain parts or should i just play it safe and do it all by hand with minimal water involved?

Thanks guys.

most of the delicate areas are marked with symbols representing pressure cleaner lance with an X through it or similar, I do mine quite regularly (3-6mths) but low pressure only, a good degreaser and a garden hose

As above degreaser rinse off with garden hose and hot soapy water with a brush if u want that extra clean

I've always used CT-18 Truckwash and then just washed down with a garden hose. Never had an issue
I'm the same as MYVESSV8, I wash my engine bay regularly also.
