Any Recommendation on How To Wash An SC300 or a place in California You Can Recommend
Any recommendation or tips on how you wash an SC300's engine or, perhaps, if you can recommend a place in Southern/Northern California so I can have it done professionally?
Thank you!
Thank you!

Here's what I use. HomeRight C800880 steam cleaner, Simple Green concentrate(diluted with water), and brake/parts cleaner.
Simple green is great, and will give your plastics that nice shine, but for hard grease build up I find it doesn't cut through. So for any old oil crud/build up use the parts cleaner first. Direct spray should blast it away. Then you can soak nearly everything with Simple Green for 10 minutes, and steam clean it off after. If you are looking for a good shine, wipe it away with some microfiber rags.
Use common sense when spraying chemicals into the engine bay, and if you go heavy you might want to let your bay dry a day before starting up the car. Plenty of people soak the engine down, and can't get it started afterwards, don't be that guy.

I would cover the distributor and the alternator with a grocery plastic bag and rubber band it 
I usually use a dawn dish soap with water concentrate and soak everything first and let it sit for good 30 min and then heavily oiled areas u use a good brush to soften the dirt and grime and then spray with a high pressure at any car wash.
I did this about 2 months ago, took my ramps to the carwash with me and sprayed the **** out of it from the top and the bottom of the car for $5a hola
