I was wondering what to use for a degreaser in the engine compartment I had an oil leak and shit spit everywhere I don't know bout power washin engine bay but I was thinkin a degreaser would work much better cuz I wouldn't need as much pressure and wouldn't want to rish water getting places it shouldn't thanks for the help

I wouldn't use brake cleaner; too much risk to your paint. They make dedicated engine degreasers that are much better.

Yikes nono..

Engine degreasers or even watered down simple green will be fine. Brake cleaner is too abbrasive.

Steam works well for engine clean up if your don't want to use chemicals.

thanks for the replies guys I almost died when he said brake cleaner lol if that was the case why not use laquer thinner>>>haha the chemical guys orange looks like a good idea but I also have a shark steamer which I hadn't even thought of good ideas I will def keep them in mind ill try and take pics before and after to show how much oil is in engine bay I think its time for oil filter gasket and valve cover gasket this should be fun....

Sorry guys, I said brake cleaner cuz I saw my mechanic use it to clean up oil drips after an oil change. I should keep my mouth shut next time.

Just use diluted Simple Green or Purple power in a spray bottle, spray around and agitate with a brush to degrease. Rinse with another spray bottle or light spray from a hose (don't blast it or let water flow in the engine bay) and then dress it back up with 303 Aerospace.

You could try Meguiar's D108 Super Degreaser and a couple of different brushes

Need to degrease my vehicles as well and am leaning towards Chemical Guys AllClean+ and Silk Shine Dressing (water based). The dilution ratio of AllClean+ makes it a bang for you buck.

Has anyone used any of these CG products? I've seen a good number of mixed reviews on various forums.

Why not just use something proven, cheap, and easy to find like Purple Power or Simple Green? Diluted per their instructions they don't represent any danger to engine components.

Regardless which you use, the key to really getting it clean is agitating with a relatively stiff brush.
