Engine bay pressure wash DANGER

Fyi

There are many Mercedes you do NOT want to ever pressure wash the engine bay, due to electrical issues.

Here is a thread that will educate you on the issue.

I regularly do it. Then again, I'm not an idiot about it. All electronics are either covered up or removed (preferred). In fact, the only part I ever really need to pressure wash is the block. Everything else is washable with some degreaser or some nice soap and water.
