It's fine. Just try not to spray directly onto electric parts (ie the generator/fuse box etc). And I usually let the engine run a few minutes after, to dry it all out.

But if the engine is mounted upside down in your part of the world, perhaps you should get a lift to gain access . . .

AVOID IGNITION COILS!!!! In the B6/B7 world people have ruined many ignition coils. People wash the engine bay and spray the coils and ruin them.

I simply spray the engine down with P21 Total Auto Wash, agitate with a brush, and wipe with microfiber.

I had my 360 detailed just before I had my motorcycle accident.

The electronic clutch sensor got wet and corroded.

When I drove the car, the clutch was destroyed as a result.

There are some engine parts that don't like water.

What kind of car

Steps I always use with no problems (obviously Dana had some I never had)


Put a plastic bag over battery, dizzy, fuse box ect just to be careful.

water down the engine, avoid electrical areas obviously. spray on some simple green, use a brush to aditate dirty areas, hose off. start engine, ejoy a clean engine bay



This is just advice and if you destroy your engine, Im not responsible

BUT I have done the above many times with no problems
