In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The only time you should wash under the hood is when the engine is cold. This means that you need to wait a substantial time after running the engine and washing under the hood. If you wash it when the engine is hot, you run the risk of damaging your engine as cold water may cause hot or warm parts to shatter or be damaged.  The best time to wash under the hood is in the morning after your engine has cooled all night. Some experts suggest that it is okay to clean the engine while it is slightly warm. They note that this can help in the process of removing dirt and gunk. However, it is best to exercise caution and may be best to wait until the engine is cold. Never wash under the hood immediately after you’ve been driving the car. Before washing under the hood, you need to make sure that you cover or protect a number of parts that might be damaged by water. This is best done by securing vulnerable components with plastic bags and plastic tape.  Cover or protect the engine’s air intake. Cover or protect the alternator. Protect any electronics, electrical connections, relays, or sensors. Cover or protect the distributor cap. It is easy for water to get under the cap. Make sure to cover it with plastic and secure the plastic with tape. If you get water under the cap, you can spray WD-40 to help dissipate the water. If this does not work, you may need to replace the cap and rotor. If you have doubts about the damage water may do to a certain part of your engine, cover it. The next step is to take out any filters that could be damaged or ruined. This is important since filters are extremely vulnerable to water and are places where water could accumulate and potentially harm the engine or other parts.  The most likely filter you'll have to remove is the engine air intake filter. Rarely, if it is exposed in the engine compartment, you may need to remove the cabin air filter, too. Make sure to cover any filter intakes with plastic, just as you did with sensitive electronics and other areas. Store the filters in a dry and clean place. Make sure you put the filters in a place you won’t forget them. It is imperative that all filters are replaced after you wash the engine compartment. Before continuing on to clean under the hood, you need to make sure you’ve removed the car’s battery cables. This is important since you’ll be introducing water into the engine compartment which could possibly produce a short in your vehicle.  Find an appropriate sized socket to loosen the nuts that fasten the cables to the battery. Take off the negative cable. Disconnect the positive cable. Do not let the positive cables touch any metal part of your car. This could cause a short in your vehicle. Place the cables on a table or in your garage where they won’t be exposed to water. Now that you’ve prepared your car, you need to gather the rest of the supplies you’ll need to proceed. It is important you have everything you’ll need, so you can wash under the hood quickly and effectively and make sure that all water is removed when you are finished. Make sure to have:  Car washing soap (non-wax or polymer). Microfiber clothes. Degreaser. A hose and sprayer with a low-pressure setting. Rubber or vinyl protectant for cars.
Summary: Make sure the engine is cold. Cover the vulnerable parts of the engine. Take the filters out of the engine compartment. Remove the battery cables. Gather your supplies.
