Detailing a Engine bay!!! FUNNY STORY

Well today I was washing this Hyandai Excel which was a delivery in our used car department at Toyota...
Now i decided for the first time ever, to detail the engine bay. I had the high pressure hose next to me, and *degreaser*.
I applied the *degreaser* over the head cover, and just around the engine bay quite vigorously....
Now i hosed it off with the pressure hose, really came out nicely, but coz the car was still warm there was a bit of steam coming from the engine...
Now after a while I actually found out that the bottle of *degreaser* wasn't actually what i thought it was...
It was actually ACID, it said it in the FAINTEST TEXTURE mark u'd ever see, just sitting next to the other bottles...
So yeah thats why the *degreaser* word is surrounded in * * in my story....
Supposably it was hydrochloric acid....... They use it as a mag wheel cleaner too!!!
If i got ANY on my hands (which was bloody lucky i didn't) i would have had some SERIOUS burns...
Not to mention the fact that the acid was on the exhaust manifolds and on the hot engine, if the acid got too hot, it could have exploded....
Scary but funny...
Engine bay looks good though..... 
hmmm....
