Out of truck rent a pressure washer spray it down with a good degreaser dawn actually works well . Scrub it and blast it. The local rental place here has a hot water pressure washer. That would be the best.
I’ve always been against spraying water under my hood. All those electrical components and places for water to sit where it wouldn’t naturally get. I dunno maybe I’m over cautious but I stick to wipe on wipe off stuff.

Only thing I cover is the cap. Never had a problem but then again I drive mine rain or shine and have hit some huge puddles small lakes around here on the dirt roads. Same with my bikes.
