And I 'll always stick to my advice not to use high pressure under the hood. 60 PSI? Sure. 2200 PSI? Nope. Might peel that neat paint I used!
Just my opinion, ya' know?
~ referred to as the... "quarter carwash"... but takes a minimum of 6 quarters to get it to function for one cycle.
as for the pressure... i have used them for 20 years without any issue... ever. they do a great job with little effort and no product needed...
additionally, no issues with water and electronics... i do this at least once a month to my cars.

i use the same method to clean the underside of the hood insulator.
start at the bottom with the soap and work your way up (do not get too close to the material - 12" away of so)... then the opposite... rinse from the top downward and once you are home... open the hood to allow the water to drain to the bottom of the insulator (perhaps leaving the hood up overnight for through drying). pretty simple with great results!

and while your at it... don't forget the underside & well wheels... (and yes this car was a daily driver... rain & snow).
