Cover the distributor with a plastic bag.

You will want to cover the distributor with a heavy duty plastic bag. (I say heavy duty because your engine may be hot from driving to the car wash and you do not want to melt it all over your intake. You don't want to get water under the cap. Other than that, just be careful around other electrical components and you should be fine.

You should be fine with the pressure wash just use caution around the delicate looking stuff. Oh and i like Castrol superclean better. No i aint sellin it, but if it works it works. Try some agetation with steel wool before you rise.
