I've just got some gunk degreaser for my engine so am on a mission this weekend to get it clean... Just wondering what I should cover up before I use the pressure washer on the engine? Don't want to fry the electrics!!
Help much appreciated! :thumbup:

The vtr is pretty good, I used to have evo bonnet with open mesh and so in rain etc the engine was always getin pissed on and it always started so depends how lucky you are, i wud recemend covering the obvious things though like battery etc. I used to spray the electrics with wd40 apparently it helps protect them wen wet dunno if its true but like i sed the car was fine, you should a seen the steam in the rain was comedy

i wouldnt bother with pressure washer
hot soapy water, sponge/brush and degreaser works a treat
