After 7 years, I've got a ton of dust and dirt build up under the hood. Has anybody got good cleaning tips and any caveats to prevent any damages?
 
If you have access to an air hose to blow off the topical dust, a strong leaf blower works.

Dampen a cloth and wipe what you can, rinsing then wringing out excess water. For oily bits I'd wet a cloth with Simple Green, wipe, rinse repeat then dry off with a dry cloth.

No rinsing off with a hose, ever. Can always use a soft brush or a stiff bristle on heavier crud. Blow off, use a damp cloth to get remaining grime.

Now, wipe every time you wash the car because you've done the hard stuff.
 
Roger that. Yeah I figured no blasting with water no matter how much you covered. Time to get to work. Thanks for tips.
