Don’t get the wrong of the stick here, but you lot have owned Lotus’essss for years and therfore ‘know everything’ !
anyway, after 200 odd miles at the weekend I decided to wash the car, however my hand is much quicker than my brain and I subsequently half filled the engine compartment with water and spent an unnecessary 20 minutes drying off the hoses/electrics/bulkhead etc etc…
From now on, it’s a hand wipe down for that part of the car…
still, you live and learn.
I just wash and hose the back of mine like any other car - it’s only the same as driving in the rain and being sat at the traffic lights/in traffic etc?
Mine has lived outside for many nights, often pouring with rain, so “half filled the engine compartment with water” from a washing session aint going to be a problem
