Good morning - have some time to clean up a couple of the cars (shocking, yes) and wanted to ask about do/don’t when using a pressure washer.

Obviously not on carbs or any points of water ingress into the engine or trans, other tips?

Thanks gentlemen.

Try to avoid blasting lenses.
If there aren't rain tray's on the engine lids take a large trash bag and cover the whole engine lid with it to prevent a crap load of water getting in there.
When done check both trunks for pooled water and both sides of the engine bay.
Also try to avoid blasting the back window from the outside, if seals are old it tends to be the final nail in the coffin for the seal and you'll end up with lots of water in the cabin behind the seats at the base of the fire wall (inside)

Depending on the nozzle you use avoid getting too close to the paint and under coating because you'll blast it right off.
