1.Clean the parts piece by piece before you put them on, or tear it all down and clean it piece by piece.
2. A not so great idea is tape up or put plastic around everything you don't/can't get wet and degrease and powerwash it. With the second option, your risking breaking brittle pieces, cutting wires, rust, bending fins on the IC, condensor and radiator. I have tried both ways, the first option is time consuming but well worth it and it's safer. I always clean my engine or whatever it is piece by piece if I need to, before I put it in, that way the gaskets can be changed as well.

Is that really a good idea? It won't hurt anything? Some of the chemicals differ from car washes, should I find out what kind of cleaner they use first?

I just pour a bunch of simple green in this pond by my house and drive the front of my car into it.

This sounds like the way to go haha I'll try this.

Don't try this guys.........the only reason he can do it is because his car is all wheel drive.
