As for paint, it hasn’t harmed the paint on my fan shroud. I think I got the tip from a video online, where the guy was spraying down the body of a beat up VW bus, and he mentioned it was an old hot rodders trick.
I wouldn’t worry about the smell, After the engine gets to temp the smell is gone.
How do you get to the engine on this thing?

I can’t say I have waxed my car in 2 year. I’ve been spraying it down with wizard detail spray.
Here is some before and after photos of using WD40
http://www.detailcity.org/forums/engine-detailing/18098-recommended-products-make-engine-shine.htmlI’ll windex the front glass, and also rain-x it too (not that I’m looking to be caught out in the rain).
Another trick I’ve learned is spraying down the painted metal in the engine bay with WD40 (and then whipping it down). This is suppose to be an old hot rodder trick from the 50’s. It is a great way to get a nice shine, but if you ever want to repaint it, it will take a lot of prep work to get the metal oil free and ready for the paint to stick. They use to use this on the body panels too (not me).
