how is it used do you just apply it to the engine then jet it off?

You can just brush it on mate and work it in with a bruch then rinse it off! You can use a jet if you are careful (cover electrics, alternator etc) or just hose it down as the gunk will loosen it up nicely! There are threads all about this if you do a search! Go into better detail too!
