water, hose, hot soapy water, hose, autoglym silicon stuff
jet washing it is fine i do mine all the time.
just make sure u dont directly hit the alternator
And whack a bag or something over the fuse box cover.
best to steam it... its much safer so that water doesnt get all into the parts it shudnt
Car shampoo should work its not as if your engines will be that dirty there not that old ( car in pic is a '03 !)
