Degreaser that actually works?
 

The intercooler O-rings on my ZT had failed a long time before I got it as there is oil gunk all over the engine bay around that area and its a real gooey mess. Can anyone recommend a good degreaser that actually does what it says it will. :shrug:

I use BBQ cleaner for normal oily/greasy residue but it may not be enough for gooey mess that you describe. Worth a try. :shrug:

Astonish Car Care Engine Degreaser lots of the small car shops will sell it, cost is from 99p to about £1.49 and works ;)

Aldi Kitchen cleaner or Mr Muscle kitchen cleaner. Spray lots on, leave a few minutes to dwell and soak in, agitate with paintbrush, rinse off with hose or jetwash.

Works for me . . .

Go to screwfix and buy the no nonsense degreaser comes in a 5 litre bottle around £12 use it neat or dilute it, brilliant stuff spray on and leave to soak in or give it a scrub if really oily and then rinse off :}

Be careful with a jet wash around engine connections and components.

Brake cleaner is an amazing degreaser but the fumes can be a bit over powering in a confined area and on a warm to hot day it can evaporate quickly.

I usually soak a cloth in the stuff and it can work well at cleaning parts. Ware gloves though as it will take the grease out of your skin.

Surfex HD from Bilt Hamber works well for me in most degreasing jobs.

Autoglym engine cleaner, or Autosmart G101. The bonus with the G101 is you mix it yourself, so you can use it on interiors, wheels, arches and lots of other things too.

Always used Jizer by Swarfega......brilliant stuff that we used to use at the quarry for parts cleaning.
Really does work! ;)
