Degreaser That's Paint Safe?

[honestabe]

What does everybody use to get grease and grime off their paint? I have a shell that I want to clean the engine bay (which is filthy right now) before I swap in the motor. I'd say WD-40, but it leaves a residue. Come on folks, I know you all have your favorite degreasers that are paint safe.

But honestly,
kerosine and a tooth brush and go at it.

Alcohol and trichloromethane do a good job. just dont use the latter on anything plastic.

The guys on SF all seem to agree on Simple Green. Guess I'll use that.

[NastyNate]

simple green. Especially on grease. Spray it on then hose the grease off. I use the concentrated kind and that works amazing.

Simple green MAX is great for cleaning out your bay.

simple green is bad for plastics and rubber (will dry them out)

imagine this.....use an ACTUAL engine degreaser/detailer?!!??!

I swear you people, the cans are cheap and will clean so much better WITHOUT harming anything...

know what I use simple green for?

cleaning my tires as it removes the brown and leaves them looking like new tires without being shiney with crap on them that makes dust stick...
