Engine Bay Cleaning
I am getting my truck detailed inside and out at a professional cleaner tomorrow. They said on the phone that the price includes cleaning the engine bay. Should I have them do this or not? I've heard that doing so can/may cause issues.
Oh, truck is 05 F-250 6.0L

Sorry, my answer sounded good in my head 
.
As High Binder said there is special equipment a pro shop would use, or a pressure washer would be ok if it's set up right. I was thinking of a high school kid blasting everything under the hood with the smallest tip he's got and no soap. It can easily be done right by someone who knows how.

Thanks guys.
It is not that much work if you keep on top of it.
I clean it about 3 or 4 times a year.
Steve - I live in my own little wold, but that is OK because they know me there.
