Default under engine/susp cleaning

been under my car today changing gearbox and transfer box oil , noticed the underside of engine i filthy , i know you don't see it but want to clean off all oil etc so i can find out where any leaks are coming from , and just so i know its clean too . would it be safe to use a pressure washer , bit worried about the crank sensor etc . and what sort off cleaning products would/have you used ??? also body kit clips are broke all over place 8 in total , where can i get these ?

as long as you dont go mental a steam cleaner will clean the underside nicely, i just use traffic film remover normally gets it gleaming.
the clips were avalible from ford last time i looked but they are not cheap! think someone on here has had some made.

Any idea on price?

I've seen pics of a car hoisted into the air and steam cleaned underneath - would this be these fellas?
