So don't you find it funny that MoeMistry on 6speed recommends washing the engine bay after the engine has been running for 5+ minutes?  -------------------- AP1 Gone on 5/26/07 at 10:03 p.m. :(:(. 2001 Turbo IS300(SOLD!) NOW 2008 Chicane Silver/Black-Red!

Yeah.. well obviously you have to pull it out of the garage/etc. But pretty much a cold engine. To keep you safe.. as well as keep water spotting down. Even with DI water from a CRSpotless if it gets hot enough, it will spot. And if then engine is hot enough to boil (steam) water, than it's easily 212+*F on that engine, and easily above 100*F directly around the engine bay.. which means it's MORE likely to spot, regardless of DI water.
If there's other adverse effects other than the water just "steaming" off the engine, I don't see why one WOULDN'T wash the engine bay when it was cool... |

I only wash a cold engine. I find the water leaves spots/marking where it starts to evaporate. Results are almost always better on a cold car!

Interesting articles Phil.. never thought twice about what I was doing is "not the norm" as I learned from detailing addict and ex-guru MikeyC who created a whole book on detailing catered to the S2000.
I'll definitely re-consider my process after reading the articles. Though, I don't see the benefits personally.. it may be worth a shot |

None of my cars ever got dirty enough to let grease accumulate so I guess a warm engine wouldn't really help.
