You should cover the battery, alternator and distributor at the least, just to be on the safe side.

Purple Power. Cover all electronics the best you can. Spray from a squirt bottle. Only let it sit for 5 mins. Degreasers eat aluminum.

yeah, stuff acts pretty fast. Definitely use pressure washer. For plastics, I just spray a bit on a rag and wash the plastics by hand. Either way will work.

Best way is to pull it out and hit it with a fire hose. Sounds ridiculous, but it gets you the best results.
