ok, how do I safely clean it?

 

well wat i do is go to the car wash and pressure wash it with the car on and i put it on engine cleaner and then wait a few seconds and then rinse it off ...

 

^^ thats what i used to do...

 

used to do? why you stop? and I'm unsure about that pressure washer.. will it do any damage?

 

dont get it on the battery..... thats all i have to say...

 

I've never cleaned the engine on my current neon. I barely clean the outside. lol

 

just buy a can of engine degreaser, you can get it anywhere. spray it on and let it sit fora minuteor two.then just hose it off.

 

yea just cover stuff u dont want to get wet like the alt, battery, belts, and fuse box. thats what i did

 

Don't do it while the engine is hot tho.

 

For my sxt and 1st gen neons I do them by hand wash and wipe everypart down by hand doesnt take that long . I have to for shows. I never do the carwash thing cause I dont wanna hurt anything eletrical in my engine bay.
