engine and drivetrain good degreasers

[ash00]

Hey Gang

I'm cleaning up my engine bay while my engine/tranny are out this weekend. Any advice on a good cleaner/degreaser for all that oil/dirt on my tranny tunnel area? I'm planning on using a pressure washer so that'll be fun. I heard Simple green messes up paint..

Thanks

I'm not sure what kinda paint you've got but Simple Green has never had any adverse effect on any of my car's paint -thou it will remove the wax. Just rinse if off of the paint, if you get any on it, ASAP.

Marine Clean from POR15 is great stuff

bahh simple green will do more than remove wax. Just go try it on your wheels and watch it etch your powdercoat or paint. To be enviromentally conscious Oil and grease cleaner from Griot's eats away at the oil and grease with no adverse effects (same microbe that was used in the exxon valdez cleanup in alaska). Make sure to use something that contains no acids or else you'll damage your paint.

Also, any non-pumice handcleaner works well. Just scrub it on and wash it away.

and I've been using Simple Green straight on my AMG wheels for 4 years without a problem.

ZEP has some stuff called "purple degreaser" and it works wonders!! Make sure you follow the directions however, the stuff is really agressive!

Amen to the Zep Purple...also called "Morado". Crazy stuff. We use it straight from the bottle on our shop floors and it is amazing. Be careful though...it'll eat through most paints before you can say "oh shit, get the rags..."

Zep purple was our floor cleaner of choice for a while. Then we discovered SUnlight powder. Dirt cheap, and works great.

I'm diggin the purple stuff. If you can find a local industrial supply or a car wash supply, I've gotten 5 gallon buckets for under $15

I like the orange citrus cleaner from ZEP, I get it at Home Depot
