Washing the engine bay.

Serious question here. But long story short my coolant reservoir came lose and sprayed anti freeze every where in my engine bay, and because it was hot out it dried leaving a terrible looking green splatter effect all over my engine including under my engine cover. SO my question is, can i pressure wash the engine and not worry about how wet i get everything under the hood? I know ill have to cover up the intake and what not but is everything else ok to pressure wash to get all the coolant off?

20+ years ago I used to routinely steam clean my engine bay, but there are so many electronics these days I prefer to use a by-hand engine bay cleaner spray and dressing. It takes more time, and rags, but less risk of getting water where it shouldn't be.
