I beg to differ, theres A LOT that can go wrong, like breaking your arm with an incorrect wipe stroke

Yeah, I like to use a clockwise stroke...haven't had any problems yet and no carpal tunnel syndrom either....very happy with the results

Where can I get this so called "raging inferno." Autozone? NAPA? The only thing I could find on e-bay was Raging inferno level 38 with +29 regeneration for elfs....but I think it was for some kind of world of warcraft car or something. TIA

 

engine brite degreaser .. let it soak and hose it off .. wipe it off then go thru it with brake cleaner

 

I clean mine with a rag on a stick.

DAN

 

vertical wipe is better.

 

just use an up and down stroke with some K Y and your good

geee$h, you're all a bunch'a n00bers! i guess nobody has seen the sand they spread on accidents on the highway! works great - but here's the secret. put a thin layer at the bottom of the pan before sealing it to your block. then next time you gotta clean your pan, you'll have an easier time cause it absorbs all that grease and grime.

 

the best degreaser i have found is gunk! by far the best! simple green is crap when it comes to engine grease i have tried it. when you use gunk there is no scrubbing of any sort just spray on and let sit for a minute or so and wash off you can use a hose or a towle if you are worried about a mess.
