Engine bay... Can I just spray my engine bay with a little pressurized water to clean the motor and bay out without messing anything up?!?! And if not, how do I go about cleaning it all......

Yeah but I would try and wrap stuff up that could be affected like electrical stuff and sensors and stuff. And I wouldn't put the end of the nozle say right up next to whatever your hoseing off. I would keep it back away from stuff just a little bit.

well all the sensors and things have rubber seals on them to keep water from getting in the connections and I would keep the nozzle atleast 12" away from everything I spray. My engine bay is just dirty as hell from not having a garage.

follow it and you'll be happy, i really wouldnt bother with a pressure washer, its not really necessary, dont wanna take the chance of causing more harm than good.

Follow the write up posted,but be careful using products like simple green,and purple power there very strong if not mixed right,and if not washed all off,I just used engine bright degreasser,it worked good but mine wasn't really bad,I know the detail shops around my area usally charge 25 dollars to clean a engine bay,if you live in northern ohio I work at a detail place when I'm laid off in the winter,just hit me up I can do it free,
