So everything was quite fine till I washed the car so the engine. After that the car starts shaking and white smoke comes out of the car now and the acceleration isnt stable, its just goes up and down and when I accelerate the actual shaking starts. Before that I think it was running rich so I changed the fuel filter and pips and put some fuel injector cleaner in it but now its starts to smoking white. Any clue what to do?

It sounds like you have got water into the motor while washing the engine. If you get in around the turbo or the piping, this will result.
How long has it been doing this?

I would first see what trouble codes are stored in the computer, whether or not the Check Engine Light is lit. See what the computer says of how the engine is running. Next check the oil on the dipstick. See if it looks like a milkshake or is extremely dirty. Then check the cooling system to see if you can see oil floating in the coolant or the coolant also looks like a milkshake.

I washed it on thursday afternoon so the problems starts from Friday. At first I opened the spark plugs and there was water in each of them but before I opened them I dried them and and than cleaned each spark plugs. The engine stopped shaking but it was still smoking. I turned on the engine today it was a lot worse than before so I thought it might be the work plug. I bought 6 brand new high performance spark plug but it's still the same
