Outstanding. I really does what it says on the can. I won't try anything else.

Just a friendly reminder to anyone who is going to do this, please make sure your Oil cap, oil dipstick, Transmission oil, areas are all closed and secure first. Cover up your alternator also. Also make sure your fuse box is properly closed and sealed, you don't want any moisture in the fuse box. :)

Good video and I'm going to clean up my sons BMW today. Have just finished replacing parts to get rid of oil leaks and the mess there needs to be cleaned!

Bro you didn’t know but with engine degreaser mate you don’t need to cover the alternator just detach the negative battery terminal doing this will stop any power circling around, then spray the whole engine wait 10-15mins then wash off once done let it all dry out completely then re-attach the negative battery terminal and you have a clean engine.

I know I’m late to the party (2yrs, lol) but the GUNK foam works better. Also, agitate the bay with soft brush, detail brushes & even a wheel bush. Rinse off, use a blower (I use a leaf blower) & let air dry. Then use an engine dressing to make the black pop.

can this be used on aluminum?

Thank you

It's main solvent is kerosene and diesel which is the least corrosive to aluminum, paint, rubber, and plastics. Other brands do pit aluminum due to the use of lye based solvents which is known to etch and dissolve paint if left on too long and heavily saturated. Only complaint is the strong solvent smell of kerosene and diesel.

The stuff that’s been baked on there and dried up is hard to get off but this stuff will soften it up it’ll just take some time and scrubbing. I’d recommend getting the heavy duty one if you can, that’d work better for this stuff.
