Aircraft washing

Talking about my own puddlehopper here, rather than a grown up aeroplane, I always do a thorough visual before washing it. Dirt is a superb developer for the grease that secretes in fatigue cracks.
Once I've found a gearbox close to departing the aircraft, and on another occasion an intake filter bracket with a fatigue crack. Neither problem was easily visible on a clean aircraft.
