Guys, use a garden hose. Not a pressure washer. The engine is designed to withstand rain and can handle a light rinse in most areas but pressure washing will force water where it shouldn’t be and especially when it comes to connectors that have wear and tear, you could easily get water in connectors and short circuit or cause corrosion.

Thanks for being honest. You seemed hesitant to say it straight but you finally did at the end. Never loose that honesty with your views over a company/ possible sponsor.

For once i would really like to see a really greasy motor and then a cleaning.

I agree. These engines are not really even dirty. My old truck has never had the engine cleaned and it bugs me. This stuff looks like a good starter product with another wash with a soap based product to get rid of the oily coating which is only going to attract dirt.

its like Ray Romano just made a degreaser review video..

I have a ‘05 Yukon XL Denali with the Vortec 6.0. It has close to 315,000 miles on it. It’s never been thoroughly cleaned. I have an oil leak somewhere and the build up is pretty thick. What is the best way to clean this engine, including plug areas without damaging the compartment? I once cleaned my wife’s Lexus SC 400 the way I always clean and had to replace the coil. So I’m gun shy now.

Thank you for staying transparent and honest Scott!

cuts through grease and grime but leaves petroleum like substance behind which traps more dirt so you can buy more product, it's viscous cycle!

Love your personality! It makes the videos funny and entertaining along with being informative

It also helps to come back with an air compressor with a air gun nozzle and blow the water out of sections that are recessed cavities in your vehicle to avoid rusting anything

Probably the most up front honest review THANK YOU !!!!

I used this one time, and couldn't handle the smell. It did great for what I needed, but my engine bay was pretty clean to begin with, just dusty really. Never bought it again, due to the odor. Great review.

Thank you for the video. This just saved me $200 I was quoted at a detailing shop.

Hey, Scott big fan. I have a few questions. 1- if it has a petroleum base to it would that cause issues with the alternator and wouldn't it lead to grime sticking to it in the future? 2- If I have a 97 ranger and I'm not sure how the seals are doing for the electrical components would it be a good idea to cover them just to be safe? and a side note: I had an idea you knew how to work on cars because I remember watching another video about engine bay detailing where you talked about the brush assembly in the alternator and I knew if you could talk with confidence on that I had a feeling you worked on cars. Love the videos Scott, don't let these trolls get to you man!

If you get enough inside it, I would think so. Anyone who has worked on cars for a while knows that any type of oil leaking into an alternator will kill it prematurely. I wouldn't worry about clean water though, everything under the hood is designed to be pretty water resistant since the engine compartment obviously isn't close to water tight. Of course if something has been modified or there's deteriorated seals, hoses, spark plug wires, etc you could have problems from water including just driving through normal rain and puddles.

Thank you for your honesty 👍🏽

It’s funny. I was a detailer for years at a dealership in Daytona Beach. It was the mid 90’s, and the following is how we did an engine compartment. Soak the whole car, spray the under side of the hood and engine with full strength degreaser and pressure wash the under side of the hood and engine . We then took a water based protectant and sprayed everything down. Not saying that is proper, but it looked dynamite and I never ever had a problem. Not once. I didn’t invent that, it was shown to me by the dealership.

what is the best stuff to clean an oily greasy engine ? I have a front crank seal leak for about a year now and it's pretty oily underneath. I want to clean it as much as possible before i do the repair. Thanks.

Hey, what setup are you using? Cordless handgun foamer

"I gotta fix this" hahaha yesss love the honesty.

I have used it on my Sister in laws car. I was replacing her water pump for her and she bought a few cans of that crap because I told her that I would have to clean the engine before working on it because it was so nasty due ongoing oil leaks. It cut the light grease and grime on the upper engine compartment area, but the actual grease and sludge on the engine, it did NOTHING but create a horrible smell. I ended up getting it clean with LA AWESOME

You might smell some pretroleon because they add diesel on those degreaser I make my degreaser at home with dish soap and diesel I mix it and I apply it to the engine

Is it safe for the powder coating on my Harley Davidson low will it damage the Finish

I have a Nissan select and a crv Honda. Oil has effected my alternator in my Honda. Will this work?

What degreaser do you recommend?

I have a question I have oil on my alternator and serpentine belt is it OK for me to decrease it and rinse it down

Nice video can I use this product on my 2016 chrysler 300?

I just used it and it definitely gets rid of any grease or oil. My 18 year old car hasn’t been cleaned and it did a pretty good job and I didn’t have to brush much and it still did pretty good. I also maybe waited about 5 minutes for some parts and it still got it cleaned. I will admit the smell is extremely strong even when using a mask. I would recommend honestly just scrubbing what you want extremely clean and anything else leave it alone. I would give it 4 if 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So it won’t damage the alternator??? If it gets wet ?

Love ur videos I love the foam engine cleaner, can’t handle the strong smell. Excellent job

i used this stuff on my motorcycle that has an oil leak no plastic parts around a little tooth brush work and a rinse and its a bike I'm happy to ride around on

I tried it recently and the smell was also my problem. It took a few days to disappear but maybe I should wash it again w some simple green or something.

how did you wet the timing belt? isnt it bad for it?

Do you have a link for the pressure washer youre using?

Yeah I can definitely agree with you on that point.

Glad you've had great success, and I agree with you on the haters should take a hike. However, I'd go easy on the whole 26 years, "I'm a pro" thing.

Can you tell us again how long you have been doing this for?

I wonder if the product smells? 😂

when blow-dried do the engine components feel tacky?

You can spray all over alternator, and other electronics? Have you done undercarriage?

Scott, you know what you are doing. Back in the day, 44 years ago, I washed engines in the wishy wash bays, and I covered nothing. No problems except for starting old points ignition (every car made for the time and untill 1975) which was made possible by spraying with wd40. Yeah, that was new then. I really don't care anymore about super clean engine cleanliness because I'm older and have many worse things to worry about. I would worry about the proliferation of electronic devices these days being wetted than other parts in the bay. You might have problems if they aren't sealed from water.

Has anyone by any chance accidentally spray engine degreaser on the carpeting to your vehicle? I can't get rid of the smell and I've tried everything as far as cleaning it myself with tide, dawn, Lysol, downy softner and odorban.

The main active ingredient of many effective degreasers is just KOH aka potassium hydroxide, an ionic salt that when dissolved in a degreasing solution is odourless. Heck, in my part if the world Meguiars super degreaser and Super clean are hard to get and expensive, but the locally produced cheaper 4L concentrate uses the same KOH based chemistry, so I've had no problems so far and it has cleaned my engine bays and wheels effectively. Why do I have a bad feeling that this product is nothing but kerosine mixed with maybe some detergents and other solvents?
