engine cleaning

what do u guys use to clean up your engine compartment?

I hear a lot of people say that they use the Mean Green that you can buy at Family Dollar or Dollar General Store. I cleaned my engine before NMRA and I used the engine cleaner at the local car wash. It did a great job but I had some sputtering of the engine as I was trying to leave the car wash. I covered alternator, battery, and coil packs but I think some other electrical parts may have gotten wet but after letting the car dry out for 3 hours it was all good.

yes the mean green is good stuff to youse. but what i do is spray the mean green on a rag and just whip. and after i clean the eng i get me some tire wet and spray the eng down with it. and whip some of the parts down.

I hope you didnt spray your engine while it was still hot. That could crack something!!!!

I use engine degreaser,brake parts cleaner, and wd-40

No i spray it on a rag and just get the cleanning

Simple green, rags, towel, hose and tire shine foam...

Spray your engine, hoses, etc down with Simple Green. Wait 2-3 minutes, then use the rags to wipe everything down. Take the hose and rinse off the "non-electrical" parts and stay away from the spark plug valley! Use a towel to wipe up excess moisture. Lastly, use the tire shine foam on the hoses, TOPS of the belts, and even the plastic parts of the engine.
