Jet washing engine bay

[Mrt4x4]

Just gave my plastics a good clean and polish with back to black stuffy as it has 12 years of muck in there,



I noticed under the scuttle panel and around arches etc are full of muck my main question is, is it safe to degrease and jet wash these areas?

Any precations i should know about, disconnecting battery, covering any sensors etc etc,

Or i heat steam cleaning is good?

Any advice appreciated

I keep my arches clean with degreaser and it's all been fine.

yeah i would say, ive always played by the rule when jet washing the bay, cover my alternator. never had a problem .

but if you've got a steam cleaner use that.

Its just a cheapy steam cleaner, would you say spray degreaser on let it do its work then steam with a small nozzle doodaa, or just jet blast the fuka

Just get in there with some rags, degreaser and elbow grease!

Never really get everything though do you, corners etc

Agree with that, if you jet wash it you could end up with water where you don't want it, personally I wouldn't even steam clean it.
