Hey All-
When cleaning the engine with de-greaser and a hose, what do I have to cover? Just the alternator and battery, or is there anything else?

Thanks!

pretty much. bag up the alternator and battery and then go nuts with the degreaser. try not to spray electrical connections/pigtails directly. use a brush to scrub off excess sludge and grease buildup and rinse off with a high powered pressure washer.

p.s. make sure to NOT get any engine degreaser on the Paint (fenders, grille, headlights, etc). if you do, wipe off and clean immediately!

In addition to the above: the fuse box.
