Cleanliness Under The Hood
#13
The Ford owner's guide indicates that the air filter, fuse box, and battery should be covered. It also cautions to take care when using a power washer so that the fluid does not penetrate "sealed parts." It also says not to spray a hot engine with cold water.

I just use some simple green and a towel and clean what i can reach!!
After that i use some F21 Turtle Wax Protectant on all the plastics in the engine bay and it will shine for a good while and from what i seen does not attract dust and does not leave a greasy residue just looks really clean!!

I cover up the battery, alternator, c.o.p., filter, and fuse box. Use a degreaser (simple green/greased lightning/purple power), spray down the bay, and use a garden hose to rinse everything off. +1 on some kind of tire shine to brighten everything up.

hmm i haven't put pressured water on my engine yet to clean it because on my f-150 i had i tried it and the next day the heater core went out...not sure if they were connected but it happening the day after i wouldn't risk it again(my opinion), +1 though on simple green and towel though.
