Default Cleaning Engine off @ Coin-op....

My local coin-op, where I wash my car (don't even ask) has a setting to wash the engine off with. Are there any hazards involved in using it, such as what happens if my belts get wet or are there open holes.ports I should be concerned about?

If you don't reccomend one uses such methods mentioned above then how should I do it, I want a clean bay too, mind you.

If its the green stuff, be sure to rinse EVERYTHING off really well, it may leave "run" marks on your paint if you don't.

or the spark plug wires...(or cover which ever engine you have).....water will sit ontop of your plugs and wires in the hole.....it cause misfire.
