    Avoid extreme high pressure and use hot water. Hot water makes all the difference even with a standard hose.

    Agreed - I always dilute the CT18 or CT20 down in water as hot as I can get from the laundry tap. Makes a big difference.

    As long as the products mentioned are PH neutral then no problem. I use an APC for the engine bay for cleaning and 303 for blacks.

    I use truck wash and high pressure hose to clean the engine bay, just using the std precautions and keeping it away from the electricals.
    I did my old D2 for years (& my wife's commondore) without any issues and have just started to do the D4. Only done it 2 or 3 times with no issues. I always keep it a reasonable distance away and haven't taken the plastic engine cover off. (Too scared to do that lol)

    I normally just take it to the mechanics.

    They look at it and say that they're not working on it unless it has a steam clean and then I agree.

    Everybody is happy.
