Re: Dirty engine bay
Never done it myself, but common sense applies: cover the alternator and the battery. Simple green is a good choice for degreaser
No lie, the only time I cleaned my engine bay in my 2002 is when I had the engine and tranny out. You best bet I got that thing sparking though. I've always been too much of a wuss to do it otherwise. lol

Re: Dirty engine bay
Hi all quite new here. Just did my engine bay and from experience of other cars have never had an issue. You have to remember that modern cars use IP rated connections, you may see the wires however the plugs should be sealed fine.
My method is quick and easy, get some degreaser and a little soft paint brush and go liberally all over working the brush into all the places you possible can.
Leave for a few minutes and then blast with the jet wash.
Then start the car and let it warm slightly.
Now importantly, use AutoGlym 'Vinyl trim spray' or 'tyre spray' leave for 10 mins and have a look at your engine it will gleam !!
good luck
