i was wondering what you usually use to clean your engine bay? including those parts where your hand cant reach? or should i cover electric parts and just pressure clean it?

i've always gone to the car wash, soaked the engine bay down with the "tire cleaner/degreaser" that they have, then spray all the wheels with it, then rinse the engine bay with the "wax." immediately after that, i soak the whole bay down in armor all (DO NOT wipe/rise it off), close the hood, and proceed to wash the rest of the car. works great every time, and it comes out super clean.

be mindful of the dizzy though.. too much pressure there will make it misfire until it dries up. no biggie, you just temporarily lose 25% of your power
