i put a plastic bag over my alternator just to be safe. spray the whole engine with gunk engine degreaser and leave for 5 mins. i always take the car to a jet wash that has a foam brush attachment which seems to loosen the dirt more, then i blast it. works mint

Use tinfoil rather then plastic bags to protect the bits that matter

Always alternator and electric bits ,filter and especially alarm control and siren
