hey im going to detail my motor and degrease it. I did this before but forgot what i did to avoid water damages. i think i just covered my alternator. What should i do to detail my motor? thanks

wwmost

well you can use water but just try not to use high pressure. try not to get it on your filter or in your intake. cover up all the electrical stuff that you want. the battery will be fine. just try not to blast it. thats why people get the degreasers soo it comes off real easy with not that much work.

yeah i got some gunk engine brite but thanks for helping me out i dont want to be like my neighbor and buy a new alternator. should i cover the CAI or just try not to spray it

wwmost

just cover the filter if its in the engine bay. or it wont run right until it dries out.
