    dont forget to cover your coils and alternator so they dont get soaking wet. and intake cone if you have one.

    if your all stock just hose everything, its all water tight. unless you have a open cone air filter, its all safe to get wet. been hosing whole engines for 20 years.

    stay away from power washers, thats a good way to rip wires out and break vac lines. garden hose full blast, thats all you need.

    I typically dillute 50/50 with water. FWIW somehow there's a 5 gallon pail in the corner of my garage. (only because I got a deal on it).
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    i like it to also but have seem people do damage, and a garden hose is really all you need.

    if you must power wash get a hotsy, or steam cleaner. make it worth the while....

    I thought the same until I tried lol.
    As long as you mask off the coils, alternator and air filter your fine.

    Just don't hold it close because you can rip out wires lol
