Default Wash under the hood?

Hi,


I live in a totally dusty condo building. When driving around in the parkade a cloud practically develops (long story).

Looking under the hood, everything is covered in dust. I was just at the car wash.. and popped the hood and sprayed everything down. Wondering if this is something one can do regulary?

That is something you should never do! Many things can go wrong.

WRONG! Even the dealer washes under the hood. There is however a special chemical used, and it is at low pressure check your car wash options next time you go.

We never wash under the hood! If you're going to wash make sure it's done right.
