Question none have covered much and in all my time spending on the interior exterior I have not done much at all engine bay/engine.
Especially on my Sprint having bought new and its lack of use not a daily an never in the rain.
So its just dusty and I'm always scared of the electrics/wiring thinking re water spraying in there.
Whats the go fellas ?
Your tips re products, and more so what to cover if needed re protecting electrics etc and how to clean off with what ?
Are you using the hose at low pressure ?
I have large gurnie with the varying adaptors/nozzles.

I did 4 engine bay details over the lockdown period that I posted in my thread, all of which I did not use water.

I'm not big of using a pressure washer or hose on the engine bay, even though I know it is generally safe. At the end of the day, I get the results I wan't from using a combination of APC and a detail spray, some brushes, microfibre towels and compressed air.
These video's are worth a look in you intend on using water.

In general, his method is to spray the entire engine bay down with APC, agitate with brushes where necessary before hosing it all down. He then follows up with a dressing sprayed all over while the engine bay is still wet, allowing to dry naturally before giving it a quick wipe over to clean up any high spots.
