Daisy has her battery cover and engine cover on so I decided to wash the bay cause it was looking pretty dirty. I used the engine/tire degreaser option at the car wash, trying to avoid the paint. Then I rinsed it off, without squeezing the trigger so it's not high pressure. I didn't get too close to the engine either. That was Friday and I didn't have problems starting her up afterwards.
