Yes i used the water hose to rinse the whole engine bay down, if you cover the intake, intake maf sensor and alternator with a plastic bag, you have nothing to worry about.
Give the engine bay some time to dry and when you start the car youll notice some smoke coming out, but dont panic. Its just water evaporating. Good Luck!

The alternator is down low on the front of the engine, its the one driven by the belt that has holes you can see wires through. The Maf's are directly on top of the intake tubes right behind the filters, theres nothing you need to remove to see and access them. Be gentle with them, just spray them off only with MAF cleaner and let dry. Youll break them if you try wiping the insides with a rag.
