Engine bay cleaning

Nice but I'd never ever ever ever jet wash an engine bay!!
Steam yes
You have seals washers etc etc all quite easy to blow in and get yourself a lovely oil leak etc

Degrease then steam and clean then dry and Polish:)

High pressure jet wash - no way!
Normal hose - on a low speed/pressure setting. Never had any issued myself. Not bagged any areas up either. A light hose down with de-greaser and jobs a good-un!
