My tips would be -
Wash in the driveway, and just let the hose dribble on it. Remove dirt with a brush - like a wheel cleaner, something thin on a stick or use a variety of shapes.
Tire dressing can make things look decent. Simple green is a good grease cutter.
Use chemicals sparingly and try to avoid the belts and pulleys.
Generally you should be fine but there's always a chance. On my last car I had to replace the alternator the day after I washed the engine, the bearings were suddenly squealing. Coincidence?
Definitely never when it's hot.
