    Squirt your de-greaser over the engine, work it in with a brush.
    I use a hosepipe to rinse rather than the power washer.

    Hi !
    I found when cleaning the engine compartment with a water jet, if you get any water near the headlights the bulbs tend to a few days later.
    Not much but hope it helps.
