Engine Bay cleaning question.

I plan on cleaning my engine bay with a pressure washer and this gunk removal stuff from autozone. The car is completely stock except for a sound system.

Is there anything i should do before washing it? is taking out the battery required? I dont want to get anyhing wet that isnt suppose to be .

well i wouldnt recommend spraying water anywhere under the hood. almost nothing is waterproof and you could end up with many problems.

yeah, you don't wanna spray water under the hood. if you want to clean the engine bay, you want to clean the hard way...with degreaser and a cloth.

well your other option is to cover all sensors and electrical connection with aluminum foil and then you can use your washer.

never had a problem.
