Spray the engine down first with a heavy degreaser. I use Purple Power from Advanced Auto. Let sit for about 5 minutes. Crank the vehicle and presure washe while it's running. Close hood and let run for another 10 minutes until dry. |

| | | What did you use to get the wheel well so clean? I'm assuming the Karcher, but anything else? |

Hit it with the Karcher very thoroughly (turbo nozzle). I came back with my left over NXT wash water and Meg's Versa Brush and scrubbed the inside. After it dried out, I coated it with Meg's Hyper Dressing 1:1.
I do this on EVERY vehicle. |

I do this on EVERY vehicle. | Hyper Dressing is awesome black parts. After I rinsed my engine out, I gave a liberal spray of Hyper on the the whole engine compartment. It looked awesome the next day after it all dried. I may run the engine next time to speed up the drying.
Do you also run the engine and spray it with water if it's an aluminum engine? I heard that that was bad for alum engines...I guess cracking is a concern? |

Made sure to wrap up the distributor and wires though with a bag. Leaks on a HONDA. |

That's good to know about the distributor (for the Accord). | | |
