i was thinking maybe taking my car to the dealership so they can clean my engine bay and leave it as new, but then i was like hey i should do it myself. So i was wondering if i use a regular water hose, will that work or will that make any damages? and what else would i need?

Degreaser and water is what we used when I worked at a dealership.

Use engine bay degreaser autozone make sure u cover alternator etc with bag I've done it twice in my e92 my engine bay clean let it soak in for about 15 minutes then rinse off

Cover your alternator with plastic, do not get that thing wet. Just don't flood the engine bay.

Oh make sure u drive around the block take it for a spin so no water stays in engine bay u don't want rust in it

Yes, plastic bag, any exposed air filters. Cover exposed headlight wires with electrical tape for good measure.
