You can pay anything from £80 to £300+ depending on what you want and who does it.

I think as long as your engine is running and is hot whilst your jetting it you should be fine. Might want to just cover or bag up the odd electrical box or connection just to be safe.

been valeting for over 17yrs, 10 yrs this year of my own valeting/detailing business, I never have engines running as cars run vacuum at idle and suck in water, just stay away from fuse boxes and under bonnet ecu's and all will be fine
