Caterham wash procedure?
Discussion
Well... I don't want to sound like a nancy, but the R400 needs a wash! It has been out in the wet a couple of times and is now totally filthy. So... my question is simply this:-
What's the recommended way to wash down a Caterham? Clearly a trip to the carwash is out of the question, so a 'hand job' is clearly required. Can you hose the car down? Does lots of water over the bonnet cause problems with the electrics?
Any and all hints/tips appreciated!
Thanks al!
ps: some of you may recall that my car had the wrong diff fitted at birth. Well - after 3 attempts, Caterham have finally sorted it out today. The beast is now running perfectly! Can't wait for my next track day at Oulton in early November!!!!!!!

Hand wash, I then hose off with a gentle spray. I have a K, so if I remember I put a bit of plastic over the plug cover to stop water getting into the plugs.
My air filter isn't exposed, so no probs there. When I had a xflow with exposed air filters, I was careful not to spray water into the filters. Other than that no real issues
