So it's possible to hit the engine compartment with a pressure washer? I've wiped down the engine by every time I wash the car but she is just coming in off the ship from Europe and I will want to make sure she is good and clean. I am taking her to Raja in a few weeks after my bumper is replaced but feel the need to detail.
