I bought a can of the foamy engine brite, covered the battery, intake, and alternator with plastic, and sprayed the entire engine down with the cleaner and then hosed it off. No problems starting the car afterwards, and engine was shiny clean too.
Seriously, this is really easy. I was hesitant at first, because I heard horror stories about water getting into the engine, etc..etc.. but if you take the precautions, everything will be trouble free.

Also it can help determine the origin of leaks and otehr problems if easier to tell where they start.

Is it also best to let your engine bay dry overnight after wiping it down, just to be sure you won't screw up anything when starting it? How long should you wait before you start up your engine lets say on a average 70 degree day, in case you need the car for the night? Im just asking since im planning to clean my engine this summer.

Are you aware that people that read this may not be from the same city as you? Because "main street and booth memorial" means jack $hit to me, and I doubt I'm alone.

What a great product, I use this too, and a slight mist from a garden hose. Wipe the engine down and let it dry in the sun. Then hit the hoses and plastic with a towel moisten with Son of a Gun, Armour All, or what ever.
Nicey, nice....nice 'n' clean 'n' pretty (smells nice too!
