wat about simple green ?

If you plan on cleaning your block,intake manifold etc... Go get you some CLR people use it for cleaning lime build up and water stains in toilets and such...You can buy it at most dollar stores for like 5 bucks. That **** works MAGIC. Got a dc sport ceramic header and naturally started to rust.. Sprayed it on,let it sit about five minutes and wiped it all off with a wet rag.. Highly recommend it..

i thought i saw a gallon and spray bottle combo of Simple Green MAX at target. or maybe it was just simple green regular. SGM is pretty effective for parts cleaning. just as much as Purple Power. but PP is definitely toxic. it exfoliated all my skin, like killed the top layer of skin, after washing some stuff. but sometimes you need it...

What about steam cleaing the engine bay?

another way to skin a cat....

C- calcium L-lime R-rust It comes in a grey 28 0z. bottle. Just buy you a little spray bottle and use that it doesn't take much unless you have a lot of rust/stains on a header or something like that then you might have to repeat the process a couple time. If you get any on some rubber hoses or something of that sort just spray it off with water and it will neutralize it

spray-nine also works very good.
that is what my shop has in stock for cleaning parts!!!

Just call a few machine shops or auto repair places...someone over there should know of at least one place that could do it for you.

are you doing this to an EMPTY engine bay? if so, will purple power eat at the paint? (im going to be cleaning my bay this weekend)

Here's a post I made on another site. . . . this method works really, really well.

that's looking pretty clean. I might have to give that a try as well.

It works really damn well. Just stay away from your distributor cap and it makes it easier to have compressed air in case you need to blow stuff out.
