![]() I got a question, whats the best 'degreaser' or any other type of liquid that can be used to clean my engine? I bought the car like a 2 months ago, and haven't gotten to the engine cleaning part. Should i use that 'GUNK' ? or is there something better?

![]() I've always used GUNK, and had good results with it. If noone else replies differently, then go ahead and use it.

![]() I've used Gunk for years. Just spray it on, hose it off, then blow off with an air hose.
I don't care for the foamy stuff tho. You'll probably have to pull the distributor cap and blow or wipe out the moisture unless you wrap it inb plastic.

![]() I'd be careful of those high pressure washers. You might be walking home. You don't need high pressure.
Just use a garden hose with a good nozzle. Make sure engine is warm, not hot when you apply the Gunk, it cuts the grease better. Let it set for 15-20 minutes before rinsing. Really scrungy places make take more than one application.
