Title: cleaning agents?
Post by: Richg40 on May 01, 2011, 06:57:41 PM
I need recommendations please. What do people use to get the serious build up of gunk out of their engine bays? You know the crap that build up on the chassis legs etc.

I used gunk then brake cleaner to clean the oily residue left over by gunk but I was repainting tha bay so maybe not the brake cleaner afterwards. But gunk or parrafin are good at that

+1 for gunk, also used virosol in the past, its good but gunk is better.  Rip off from halfrauds though

 G101 degreaser from Autosmart is an excellant product as well.
