So just the Air inlet and alternator needs to be covered? everything else will be just fine to get wet?

Thanks

Emay · May 29th, 2008, 01:14 AM

yes, like it says, don't hammer the engine bay with water, just rinse as needed to remove grime and cleaner..

Rudiepoo1 · May 29th, 2008, 11:04 AM

Great post Erin, pretty much followed the same process with my '04 with the exception of F21 which I'll be trying next.

Fish · May 29th, 2008, 11:47 AM

Do you for see any problems with the coin operated car washes to clean the engine bay. I do not have a means to clean it with a regular hose.

Grabber523 · May 29th, 2008, 12:08 PM

Great info...never thought to use simple green before tire foam...I've been using the tire foam trick for a while, but the simple green is brilliant!

That's where I cleaned mine. Just use the low spray setting which works great.
