[QUOTE="66temp, post: 5429951, member: 31416"] I'm not sure if I would warm the motor up for that long, I normally start it up for 3-5 minutes (however long it takes it to get WARM to the touch, not hot, I think after 15 minutes the motor would be fairly hot). 5 minutes is about right for a fairly dirty motor, just make sure to keep the solution from caking on, so if you see it drying, keep applying it for the 5 minutes (lightly). As long as you dont spray the pressure cleaner directly into anything, for an extended period of time, you *shouldn't* have a problem, I never have, all I do is keep the nozzle on the widest setting, and spray 3-4 feet away from the motor at all times, sweeping quickly over the motor, just until all of the degreaser/soap is gone.... You may want to get a bunch of brushes and agitate the degreaser in any dirty spots, and pay special attention to areas with a lot of plastic or other material showing. After you're done rinsing, you really shouldnt have to blow the water off, just spray the foam everywhere, and start the motor back up for a few minutes until its dry...This is where any water left over in the coils/plugs, and any other sensitive crevices will, evaporate from the heat. You really shouldn't have a problem with powder coated surfaces, the only thing I could see messing with a powder coat is sandblasting, or vigorous scrubbing with an abrasive tool/brush, or a really heavy acid???
