i use about a gallon of simple green, a hose, leaf blower, and then tire
dressin.. :)

here we go.

1. break out the hose. hose the engine down (look out for the battery and
alt).

2. spray down the sucker with simple green (just all over the place) and
let it sit there for a couple of min..

3. repeat step 2 2-3 times

4. wash down with hose

5. bust out the leaf blower and blow the water out from everywhere

6. i like to use tire dressing and put a nice coat around some of the black
things (hoses, air intake)

7. take a pic, and put it on the internet (optional)

hehe, that's what i do.
