Clean Engine Bay

[MisterE]

Hi All,

Well, my H3 is finally 95% clean after the Hummer Happening a few weeks ago http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I spent about 50 bucks at various car washes plus a good 6 hours getting the underneath and nooks and crannies clean! I'm down to the engine compartment. I blasted all the caked on mud off the day of the event, but even after a few hose downs a lot of dirt still remains. Because of all the sensors a don't want to go hog wild with the hose or power wash, is there a good way to get it clean?

Simple Green makes a good engine cleaner; make sure to spray it on a cool engine and engine compartment.
I would also recommend purchasing one of the inexpensive 1750 psi power washers from a place like Home Depot. Will pay for itself after a few good washes.
