This is the exact method I use to clean the engine before and after winter. I find that using dressing before winter helps stop surface rust. Only use water based vinyl/rubber protectants. As a lot of silicone protectants will degrade plastic/rubber and also attract dust.

@Garage Gear , as a detailer myself i can give you a suggestion about the dressing for your plastics in your engine bay . use Adam's vrt as a base coat then top that with adam's hyper dressing . both of these are water based products and they wont attract dirt . and you'll have a nice and shinny engine bay .

5:28 "If it's really bad you may want to consider using a pressure washer." I have a pressure washing business. Maybe from underneath to get the oil pan, grease from around your front end parts, but today's engine bays weren't meant to have 3,100psi forced into electrical components. Just use that second can, and use a garden hose. Drying with a leaf blower right after is a smart idea. Just saying better to error on the side of satety!
