Great advice Brent up to the point about the car wash. Not long ago I was at the car wash with a 60's car, washed the exterior and raised the hood to clean the motor. As I was about to insert the coins, a guy who serviced the car wash came to me and asked what I was about to do. When I replied, he pointed to the instructions on the wall and there in plain English was "Do not clean engines". He mentioned something about the EPA. I did the smart thing, apologized, went home and returned later that night.
