[1] Fingers are crossed...
[2] Yes, there's something unseemly about a stream of water under pressure cleaning a valued chassis, but there have been no negatives for me so far, and I use it just as a first step before the hands-on cleaning and polishing.
Drying the wet chassis is important and I always use some combination of:
*wiping it with a cloth
*making sure the day is hot, sunny, and dry to 'bake' out the moisture (turning occasionally to get all sides and the bottom)
*and using a leaf blower to remove standing water and 'blow dry' the beast (this is the best way to remove moisture from hard-to-reach cracks and crevices).
