What do you guys use to get all the grease and crud from the engine bay paintwork? I just tried some Isopropyl Alcohol and it hasnt touched it - then I tried hot soapy water and a green scouring (soft) type cloth - still barely touches it. I wanna clean the engine bay paintwork and the engine itself (Especially the top silver manifold).

I bought some stuff called Engine Degreasant from Helfrauds and it does the job. Spray on, leave for a moment then rub with a rag and toothbrush. Rinse and repeat elsewhere ;)

 

Also that Autosol Chrome Cleaner on a rag works wonders on most stuff under the bonnet, not just shiny metal :) It will fade your engine bay paintwork if you use it on that so just use it on unpainted bits.

 

It will take ages if your engine bay is dirty but the result is worth it, and not difficult to keep that way once its had a good clean.

Service sprays like Duck oil,AC90,etc,coat all over evrything with lots,then wipe off,hey presto:D

WD40 will remove it.

for great results use autoglym clean machine spray it on use a soft brush to give it a good scour then hose it off,

 

then when the engine is still wet spray on autoglym rubber and vynyl, gives the engine bay a wet look when its dry!!

 

oh! and by the way i dont have shares in autoglym LOL!!

I used Valvoline carb cleaner.
