    Anyone that has ever bought a used from a dealer, especially a certified used car has had a wash done under the hood.

    #1 thing is don't use high pressure, you can but it's not advised. If you have to only do it on the firewall, block, and wherever electrical is not present. Things that are electrical shouldn't be dirty enough to require high pressure anyways. Spray everything down with a mild degreaser or spray engine cleaner (being careful with it on aluminum or paint), scrub with a soft brush as necessary on metal parts, just use a soft rag on painted areas...then rinse with mild pressure or even just the hose without a nozzle.

    no, LOL at you! A car can run without an alternator but NOT without a battery...it will, for just long enough to switch batteries if you don't have any jumper cables but that's it. Where do you suppose the alternator gets the power from to then send it to the coil pack(s) or distributor to generate thousands of volts for the spark plugs if there is no battery connected? Is it blue tooth technology, like magically send power wirelessly to the alternator?
