No, it just breaks down grease/oils ....you can just let it set for about a min and spray it off with a water hose, make sure you dont do this with your motor hot please buddy....

It's what I use. You can also use Simple Green. Just spray on (scrub with a brush too if you want) then rinse off. Don't let any degreaser / solvent stay on your paint long though.

ok, let your motor cool, until it is decently cool, then spray your degreaser where ever you need to, for the under the hood section and the major parts of the motor and body, just brush over it real quick, then let it set for a min. or so then wash off. I have a pressure washer, and that gets it really clean

Re: (WrongWD)
with your engine a cold or slightly warm spray it with brake cleaner....it'll get rid of the oil in 2 seconds and dry itself in another 20 seconds. Problem solved, no scrubbing.
