I've heard that the detail shops that steam clean engines use Saran Wrap around all the sensitive components....well, maybe not the battery. Anyway, after steam cleaning they unwrap everything, start it up and run it until all moisture is gone. Sounds good in theory anyway.

Aluminum foil is easier to work with and remove.
