I soaked the engine bay with it, and rinsed it, and it looks like new. I highly recommend it.

Default Nice. I wasn't impressed with it's performance on wheels

but it looks like it worked well on the engine.

Default Did you cover anything before soaking?

Can you describe in detail how you did it, I have been looking to do it myself, my engine bay is looking pretty bad after 5 yrs.

Default There's an automotive formula?

I just use the regular Simple Green that you can get at Home Depot (full strength) and get the same results. Marvelous stuff! I haven't bought a single can of engine degreaser since I started using SG.

Cheers,

Default Nope. I did it with all of the covers in place, minus the middle one.. I misted the engine bay with

water, then sprayed the SG on. I let it sit for 5 minutes or so, then rinsed thoroughly. Repeated once, and left it in the sun to dry. the way I see it, if stuff in the engine bay can't get wet, it's already sealed from the factory. A LOT of water gets in there when you drive in the rain and snow.

Yeah, it doesn't do much for rims (even if you let it soak in a while)
