05 non SS/SC engine washing
I know on my SS/SC I have to be careful when washing the engine but what about on my 05 base sedan? Can I just go to the car wash and wash the engine with the high pressure?

Thanks

honestly, just spray some degreaser throughout the engine compartment. Close the hood, run hte car for 10 mins, lift the hood, cover intake filter (if applicable) and then just rinse it down with a hose. start it up for 10 mins and it should be dry. and clean and shiney
