so has jizer use a good engine degreser and a paintbrush like dean w said will make your enginebay nice and clean...

what you want to cover is...... nothing just dont concentrate the bugger on the alternator and you will be fine, also when you are about to steam clean the engine make sure its running. and also dry it off as best you can afterwards..... if you ahve a alarm you will need to cover the siren as it wont be to good for it.
