2G Car won’t start after being cleaned

Give the car a day to dry out. It's possible some water got into a connector and is grounding out a signal. Also, make a check of the connectors all around the engine bay to see if any came apart or are loose. If you need to get the car running immediately, you could try using compressed air or electrical contact cleaner to dry out any connectors.
 
The main sensors you are looking for are your cam and crank position sensors. It's also possible water got down into the spark plug ports and is grounding out the spark before it gets to your plugs. Compressed air will take care of that (or some paper towels and time).
