Default Engine Degreaser Review

well, my car currently has 136,xxx miles which i bought at about 80000 miles. The engine was a mess when i first got and i always meant to do this but with work and also the car sat for about a year, i never got around to it until now.

I made the decision to start modding the car after driving it stock for almost 2 years. The car will be going in for a respray and i want to spice up the engine bay. I picked up the ARC cooling panel/heatshield from TurtleS2k and decided it was time to have these parts compliment the engine better. I read up on engine detailing and saw recommendations for the Gunk Brite brand and decided to go with the Citrus line. read good reviews on this product and decided to try it. Overall impressions on the product is that it works really well. with the type of grime and debris, I'd say this product is great for those who have a somewhat dirty bay. I had to use a whole lot of elbow grease to get my results in which i am pretty happy.

That Gunk Brite stuff does work really well, though, especially for something available locally.

Agreed. They almost fit on my 24" monitor. How am I supposed to justify a 30" when people like you keep posting small images?

Looks good! Now all you need to buy is some CD2 Engine Detailer to really make it POP!

always had a question on detailin the engine bay, do you just spray the degreaser on then just hose it off? (covering the battery and alt. of course) is it ok to hose down on the abs unit?
