Best engine degreaser/cleaner?

[soldout]

I wouldnt use simple green or purple power under the hood on any car. Those products are too stong for aluminum, rubber and painted surfaces.

I like to clean my wheels, engine bay and door jams in the garage before i roll it out to the driveway for the reat of the wash process.

Pop your hood and remove any leaves, sticks or debri from under the hood. I got a 4 hand held pump sprayers from HD for about 7 bucks each, I use one filled with water to spray down the engine.

I prefer to use Chemical Guys All Purpose Green cleaner, its safe to use on any surface on your car. Spray down everything under the hood. Avoid spraying directly on battery terminals, around belts and pulleys, and inside the altenator.

I use a few different brushes to work the dirt loose, come back and spray away the liftes dirt. Use a shop vac set to blow to remove all the left over standing water. Go find sonething else to do for 5 or 10mins while everything else drys come back and use a aerospace or back to black protectant on the valve cover, plastics and hoses. Spray wax under the hood and shock towers to keep them looking clean. Do this evey 1 or 2 months and youll have an engine bay clean enough to eat off of. If your only going to do this once a year or never before do it right after they stop laying salt on the roads, all that salt kicks up and makes it way under the hood.
