![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
has anyone truly washed their MB engines?
I can only suspect that detailers do not want to share this information due to liability issues?![Confused](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif)
However, how can one know which products to use, and to use them properly with proper techniques?
Is it simple to use P21 wash with a brush and hose down while the car is running? Some of the local MB techs have the car off and they drive off like a jack rabbit with the hood down to dry off the water.
Any input would be appreciated if you can care to share.
Pixs would be a *bonus*

The only thing I ever use is just plain water from a hose, never a pressure washer. As my engine never truly get more than just dust
