I heard a story where some noob youngster ruined a Cadillac by powerwashing the Northstar engine.

Similar to cleaning door jambs to perfection, so good that you clean the grease off the hinges, but at least it won’t cause the doors to fall off. Lol.
I have to agree 100% with you... spraying an engine down with a hose makes me cringe. You are just asking for it.
My moto is: if I can't reach/clean it off gently with a microfiber, a brush and a little APC then it stays dirty.
Re: New to engine detailing
I use a variety of wheel woolies, Swiffer dusters, and even a ruler or yard stick wrapped in a MF to get at tight areas in the engine compartment. Sure, it’s time consuming, but it’s a lot safer that spraying it down with a hose.
Re: New to engine detailing
I’ve done it when young and stupid. I’m less young and stupid these days. Too risky.
