Getting the car steam cleaned tomorrow ready for shipping overseas (quarantine requirement).

Anything particularly to watch out for (or bag up) in the engine bay?

It might be worth covering the Plugs above the starter motor that the HT leads go into, their is a name for them but I can't remember it,!!
I would also try to avoid all electrical connectors, and wires and make sure water doesn't get under the plug cover on top of the engine as that can also make stange things happen, The plug cover is generally sealed around it ,but is open at the back where the leads come out of the cover.

REMEMBERED........it's the coil pack!!

I'd try and avoid steam cleaning the engine bay at all costs really, it could cause a whole world of pain.

Even if you pay someone to hand detail / clean the engine bay?

Good luck
