I can't find a link or pic but I bought some Meguiars Engine Clean & Shine that worked nicely at Advance Auto.

Just cover any wires, or something that would be damaged if were to get wet, and you are good to go. Clean it up, then run the engine when your done for all the excess liquids to evaporate.

I got a nasty little jolt when I hit a stripped wire (now fixed).

Other than my intake, I'm not sure what to cover before using the hose (on low pressure.)

My ECU and fuse box maybe? Anything else?
