In defense of my post regarding Gunk, read my procedure again. I spray the (non-running) motor to let it soak. Then I close the hood, and "wet" the entire truck right away. If a bit of Gunk did get on the paint, this cleans it off right away. This also softens the blow if you splash some on the paint when you start rinsing.

I DO NOT hit it with high pressure right away, or spray it directly when I do. I use the tire cleaner/degreaser setting on low pressure, then rinse everything off with soapy water first, then follow with clean water.

And as I stated in my first post, I follow all this with a hand wash at home. This process has worked for a lot of years, and I have never cracked a block/head/exhaust manifold. I have also never got the dizzy wet enough to prevent starting....
