Need the input what needs to be covered up on these 2.0L I've never washed a newer engine. Mine looks really bad

power wash is not a good idea.

X2 to that last one. We get a big amount of grief here from those that do it when things go to crap.

The 'weatherproof' seals all the electrical use are NOT pressure wash proof, it can easily jet around the silicone seals and maybe a hundred under the hood. The soap then stays behind to short the connections when the water dries which will take a week because the seal stops evaporation from largely happening.
