well what i did was i disconnected the battery cable and then sprayed degreaser on every inch of the bay and hosed it all down with a lot of water... then i took a air hose and put a blower on it and then went over every part air blowing all the water out of every corner, plug, connector ect.... the only thing i forgot was the windshield wiper heh wouldnt turn off... just unplugged it and when i got home the heat dried it out so i plugged it back in and its just fine... i wouldnt recomend doing this at a carwash cause you wont have the air hose to dry all the electronics out... guess working at a body shop has its perks...
