I usually clean my rims, muffler, wheel wells, and the stock black grille on my front bumper with my pressure washer, always comes out quite nice.
Note, I no longer have fog lights

Awesome, i didnt even think about wheel wells and suspension, or the car itself, or even the wheels. The only thing i was thinkin was engine bay but i heard you can mess shit up if you dont cover electronics/hoses and crap. Thanx all, cant wait for a warm day so i can try that baby out.

Pressure washers is one of detailers many friends. you can clean almost any thing with it, just becareful around loose paint. instead of scrubbing stuff with a brush to loosen it, just spray the checmical & pressure wash off. huge time saver. pressure washers is my choice for cleaning engines. gardern hose is too much water, pressure washer is only a fine mist. just dont spray directly in electronic parts, those can be cleaned by hand after the big mess is gone. also dont clean a HOT engine, warm is good, but not HOT.
cleaning a very dirty engine can make leaks worse because they have been clogged by road grime & then you clean & make all pretty then the next thing you notice leaks every where. (not usually a honda problem)
