It is often a pleasure to work on a clean engine however many
detailers go overboard on the pressure washers which get water
into every electrical connector, nook & cranny.  Sometimes they
use degreasers that make the hosses soft and short lived. Then
some like coating the hoses with clear lacquer so that they will
appear glossy. Others like getting out black spray paint and
giving everthing that won't come clean a gloss black coating that
really looks like shit when it starts to peal in 1,000 miles.

nah....
I'll take the dirty engine.
