Cleaning the engine bay on hybrid

[zbennett]

My engine bay is looking pretty dirty with pollen and dust. Im hesitant to spray it off with a hose due to hybrid components. Has anyone sprayed it off and been fine?

This is the first hybrid I have had but I am not hesitant to clean an engine bay. I've done it yearly on all my cars and have never had an issue with any of them. I will usually soak it down with Super Clean and let it soak and then spray everything off with a pressure washer that I use to wash the cars with so it's a low PSI one and electric. Just don't go in real tight around electrical connections and you should be fine. After everything is rinsed off I will take a leaf blower and dry it all off as best I can and then turn the car on to let the heat dry everything else up .

+1 to this. you'd think my hood was open all spring with the amount of pollen and dust that got in. basically took a microfiber cloth and maybe a wet rag and the whole thing looked great.

Wet rag, air compressor.

21K miles in all conditions. And this was maybe 20 minutes of work.
