O.k. To Clean Engine With This?

Is there any problem with spraying a couple cans of the degreaser spray and power wash every thing off?....Have done my other Japanese cars fine over the years, but BMW O.K?....

A dealer tech suggests to rinse with garden hose instead of power wash.

i've used a power wash on my engine a few times whenb i wash my car. what i was told was not to hold it in place too long. so i usually spray down real quick. no more than say 5 sec and my engine in clean. do this all the time and most of the time you won't need to spray your engine down except a nice wipe down.
