engine cleaning
I want to clean under the hood, but what do I need to cover up? Everything I see says you can use a normal hose and degreaser, but I know there are some things that shouldn't get soaked so can someone tell me what and where they are?
Just let the engine cool, spray on some meguiars, and hose it. That's it?

I like the spray mine down with the degreaser. Then I use a small brush to agitate the checmical a little. I then let is sit for about 10mins. I then take a sprayer and use a light shower ****ion to clean the engine. After I'm done I wipe all the puddles off with a towel the best I can. I then take the truck for a quick drive trying to make hard turns and stops to knock as much water out as I can.
I then wait for it to dry and come back with a towel and armorall.
If you keep up with the towel and armorall you won't have to degreaser your engine again. I try to do it atleast once a month. Whatever has gotten into your engine over the month you can get out with the rag when you wipe it out.
Remeber, you drive a truck. These things are meant to be out in the mud, dirt, and water. You pretty much can't harm anything unless you shoot water into your air intake.
I'll try to get pictures of my engine compartment. It is really pretty
