Your engine bay will have plenty of rust in it in no time. Just check your exhaust manifold or any of the motor mounts in a month or so if you don't believe me.

Do not pressure wash your Evo or any car. PLEASE, for the love of god.

My buddy, not the brightest, used the pressure washer from his work to wash his evo. He works at a semi truck repair station as desiel mechanic, apparently the washer can remove millions of miles worth of exhaust soot from the semi's and he decided to use it on his, at the time, brand new 05 evo.



Oh yeah, the nozzle gets so hot that it melts weather stripping on contact. somthing else he also has to replace....

one thing to be very careful of, is blasting out seals.... both in the engine bay and on your wheels
