Do it by hand. Those pressure washers can sometimes spray too much water/force it into areas you don't want it to go.
I learned my lesson when I pressure washed my engine bay and it started throwing CEL's. |

| Got squeaky clean car wash and use the engine cleaner. Go around the engine bay with a small brish for a few min and wash with the hot water rinse. I did that on my crx (has OIL everywhere) and it worked great. Hold the wand away from the engie though..cause they have alot of rpessure there.. |

That's how I do it but I'm usually Hammered by the time i'm finished with the car.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I use orange engine cleaner the one's without citrus stink lol
cover your battery, alternator and dist cap
spray the cleaner let it soak for a bit, then use the engine cleaner from hughes and then rinse it works great for me |
