[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 119711, member: 13825"] I am also a guy that avoids power washers, they have a way of pushing water into places it shouldn;t be, all the more so about electrical connections and older seals all things age and don;t be as stout as they were when new!@ pressure from a washer can destroy things pretty fast if not careful! better way to clean things IMO, is, to remove all you can with basic';s like a shop vac, hand brushes and such for the bigger stuff, clean as you can and then, then when fairly clean, get some good de greaser and soak things, then hose off repeat if needed! as doing it this waay with a little elbow grease , will go a long way and have less possible issue's for you IMO! if you really plan to power wash, I would maybe time things some that you can power wash and then do some fluid changes after wards, this way if you force any water into things, you can get some back out when new fluids are added! electrical connections, cleaning and adding some dielectric grease to them, is never a bad thing either!
