Keeping a clean engine.

This is the place to ask about turbine blade and engine washing.
I believe that the turbine is spun but has no fuel injected/ignited.
  1. What is the cleaning agent.
  2. Is a special port used for the infusion/spray.
  3. Does this port get a wire through the fitting to prevent it loosening.
  4. Would domestic owners be allowed to do their own, or is it the sole preserve of the engineers.
  5. Please outline the negative aspects of this procedure.
  6. By what % could the quality of an engine be maintained and is the procedure related to the hours flown & conditions of the environment.
