Engine Bay Cleaning
#1
Ok, the engine is out of my 88 'vert for a while getting rebuilt, so in the mean time I wanted to clean up the engine bay. What products do you use that wont take the paint off, but will get rid of the grease/grime/other buildup? Any tips on how to do it? Thanks!

I was kinda looking for a brand of degreaser, I looked at a few but they all had warnings on the back about using on painted surfaces. I just wanted to see which brand worked before inadvertantly removing the paint from my engine bay

I use a degreaser called Purple Power or something. Works great but be sure to wear dishwashing gloves or anything that repels liquids cuz I believe the degreaser is a lye solution. It gives your hands a lovely burn if ya don't (especially if you have cuts on your hands from removing a 20 year beater motor.) The stuff is biodegradeable though.

you could take a bath in engine wash, its non-corrosive.
I would be carefull of something that might burn, if it burns skin im sure its not good for rubber or paint.
btw-always wet the paint on the exterior of the hood and fenders before you begin so you dont streak it.
