Never spray down your engine bay. I used to use WD40 and a towel and just go at it. You'll be super buff at the end as well

Yup, you can go try it out i'm 100% sure you have a bottle of WD40 somewhere just get a old microfiiber and shoot your microfiber and just go at it. I did it for awhile but after while i just got lazy and never did it again

The engine was running for a while after the power wash. Drove it on the highway back to the garage and left it running for a good 20 minutes while we wiped it down

Did this a couple of weeks ago to my 1UZ, and while I was VERY careful with the spray nozzle, it started and idled rough for about 20 seconds and my TRAC malfunction light was on for about 4 hours. It all went away rather quickly, but I couldn't believe how sensitive to water the engine bay was considering that I was extremely careful not to get the vulnerable areas.
