I work at the Manheim Auto Auction in the wash bay for the summer (done in one more week!!!).  That''s all I do all day is wash cars and one of the most important areas is under the hood.  We average about 45 cars per lane in a single day, times 14 lanes and you get 630 cars.  All of them get their hoods raised, degreased, and pressure washed down, then dressed.  And it''s not your local car wash pressure washer, it''s got some power behind it.  The only car we don''t touch under the hood is the Audi A8-they have a knack for shorting out when they get wet.  Haven''t had a problem with a car after washing the engine bay with this method to date.  This is short term of course, over the course of time it might be a different story.  I have never had any car trouble whether getting the ALT, or anything for that matter, wet.  I actually took my truck to the local car wash yesterday and couldn''t come close to the cleaning power I get at work so you shouldn''t have any problems.
