    Engine Cleaner?

    Hi everyone,
    What does everyone use to clean your engine compartment? I have used the engine cleaner by Gunk but I am not real impressed. I am getting frustrated with how bad my engine compartment looks when i compare it to Twin01Cobra or U1arunit. Any suggestions?

    Sean

    cleaner

    I got professional cleaner/degreaser in a five agllon jug from Miller Auto body supply in Greensburg they are in Indiana and Johnstown also. thats a what you need ,the crap you buy in a store like advanced or auto zone is 70% water 30% cleaner solution. I detail high end cars on the side and this is by far the best for all the hard to remove junk and its safe on paint so long as you dont use it in direct sunlight and do let it sit on the paint for a long period of time

    I am going to try that. If that doesn't do the trick, maybe I'll will talk to sweeney1030 about getting my engine detailed.

    How have you been, Mike? I haven't seen you in a while!
