Well as title says, I want to pressure wash my engine bay but I'm kind of nervous to do so as I feel I will short something out. As far as I can think I would want to cover the air filter, disy, alternator, battery, fuse box...anything else I should be aware of?

whatever you do, dont hit the radiator or AC condenser with the pressure washer. it will fold the fins over in a heartbeat and kill its cooling properties
