I wouldn't worry about covering anything up, but try not to hit any of the electronics directly. I have done this many times. Don't have the PR turned up all the way, use a soap of some sort to help get dirt, grease off..

I definitely like to leave my engine running when cleaning it. Use "awesome" degreaser from the .99 cent store and than blast away

All together combined and we get Awesome Simple Green Purple Power... the degreaser of degreasers.

I personally vouch for Simple Green.
