I JUST did this 2 or 3 days ago. It makes everything look like NEW and so off the floor showroom condition. You just have to be really careful when you spray because of our electical issues. DO it I say

cleaning gently is ok,,, power washing makes me nervous. remember how old you car and wiring are before you spray with pressure. I use a mist setting, bucket, and toothbrush when I clean

My buddy did this to his Honda and blew apart alot of dry rotted vaccum lines. It works great tho, just be carefull where you spray.
