Car won't start after trying to wash/paint engine, I washed and painted my engine on Thrusaday and car hasn't started Options

So basically the topic title explains my issue. Last Thrusday I sprayed my engine with an engine degreaser named Engine Bright. I made sure to cover the alrternator, distributor, battery, and any other wiring i could see, with plastic bags when i did it, then afterwards i dried off the engine and sprayed painted it. I decided not to drive the car to work that day to allow the paint to dry, but the following day was unable to start the car. when i turn the key, i hear the cranking sound, but it just doesn't start. I checked the spark plugs and they were initially wet, so i dried them but nothing. I then tried buying new ones but no luck. Through advice of some people, I've also checked the air filter and nothing appears wrong there and i also removed the distibutor cap to see if any water was there, but everything appears to be ok there as well. Bascially, what I want to know is if there's any other thing i might want to check out before i tow it over to a mechanic to have it checked out. I know my initial mistake was undertaking the task of trying to clean the engine with not knowing much about it, but i thought i had done my research and now i just wish i had left it alone.

did you check the spark plug chambers? I washed the engine once and i had water in the chamber. i had to get them completely dry before the car was start.

yea, actually there was some liquid in there..i think it might've actually have been some of the engine degreaser that i used, and i tried drying it all out, but its been almost 6 days..how long would it normally take to completely dry?
