Probably the best engine degreaser in the world

Postby Dereksjoint » Sun Mar 21, 2010 8:04 pm

I've spent the last couple of days cleaning the engine bay of the Fiesta again but decided this time that I'd seal and wax it after it was cleaned just to make future cleaning a doddle. I started out using degunk in a spray bottle and a load of cloths but it just wasn't doing that good a job at some of the ground in grime both on the engine and around the chassis legs.

My mate had been banging on for ages out this stuff he has to clean his mountain bike so I asked for a loan of it today. :surprised: This stuff is quite simply amazing, he told me to fill my wee autoglym spray bottle with water and then put 4 or 5 tiny capfulls of this stuff in and give it a shake. I honestly can over exagerate how good this stuff is, it's 100% biodegradable so can be sprayed on everything. I soaked everything in the bay with it engine, panels, samco's, wiring loom, littery everything and the dirt pretty much fell off.

I realise I'm a bit crazy when it comes to cleaning cars :lol: but if you've got bits on your car where you can't shift the dirt or grime this is the stuff to buy. My mate said you'll be able to get hold of it at any good bike shop like Dales in townhead I'm sure it can be found online easy enough too.

It can also be used undiluted for really heavily soiled areas although it costs about £18 for that bottle so I wouldn't be too generous with it :lol: probably better to just alter the mix and stick 7 or 8 cap fulls in.

I garentee once you start using this stuff you'll never go back to any other degreasing product ;)

I've just got in from putting the Fez up on axle stands so I could lie underneath it and do the bottom of the front bulkhead and the sump ect :lol: My nieghbours must think I'm insane :lol: :confused:

I wish I'd taken some before and after pics but if you buy this stuff you'll know what I mean the first time you use it ;)
