if something is really bad, dont dilute it... just spray it straight on. when i clean my wheels this is what i do. i dont even have to worry about scrubbing or anything. all the brake dust and stuff just comes off when the simple green flows off the wheel. the stuff is amazing. |

Vote four for simple green. it's really good.
just make sure that the engine is cold, to avoid cracking something. |

I take my car to one of the self-wash bays. Most have an engine cleaner, soak everything and then hit it with the high-pressure rinse. Works great! I never have to cover/protect anything,just clean it and drive away. Try not to get any on your paint though. I did once, sprayed it off, no harm done.

There are other products that the members use on here, although most will agree with SG. Try a search for "Engine Cleaning" or something to that extent. I personally use SG and it's GREAT

Vote 5 for simple green. Works great on fluid caps along with an old toothbrush.

Don't forget to wipe down all your rubber hoses w/ 303 or some RuGlide after the cleaning! Keep everything all nice and pretty.

303 Aerospace Protectant. The best (imo and many others) interior/exterior dressing spray.
http://www.303products.com/main.php?infopage=protectant Can be found locally in many marinas as it's a well known cleaner for boaters as well. RuGlide, which I have only seen for sale at NAPA, is the liquid used on new tires before they mount the rubber on the actual rim. Works great as a proctectant for hoses. I use it to treat the rubber CV joints/boots when I rotate my tires. Prevents them from drying out and cracking. |
