        What more can you say? It does what it is named, degreaser. Spray it on, let it sit for a few, spray it off with a hose. What could be easier?

        I was suprised how well this works. I had a dirty NASTY motor that had oil leaks for a long time. This cleaned it really well. If your motor is really nasty get a couple cans and do it twice.

        • Great belt cleaner

        Comments about Advance Auto Parts Engine Degreaser:

        I had grease contaminated serpentine belts from seasonal oil based rustproofing. Sprayed down my belts and pulleys with this cleaner at the spray wash, briefly starting and stopping the engine to ensure I covered all parts of the belts and pulleys. Let it sit for about 10 minutes and then rinsed everything down with the high pressure rinse cycle. Started car and continued to rinse to ensure all product was removed. Belts run nice and tight and quiet now, well worth the effort without changing out good belts or hand cleaning the pulleys.

        I found this to be much cheaper . I use a can to get most of the heavy grease off then I use the GUNK (almost twice the price) to finish the job.

              • Cleaning heavy greaseoil

              Comments about Advance Auto Parts Engine Degreaser:

              This stuff works great to clean heavy grease/oil deposits when finding the source of an oil/fluid leak. Just be sure to cover all rubber of foam hoses and parts. I used saran wrap and it worked good, the wrap dissolved a bit after 20 minutes so don't leave it on too long. I threw water on it and pump sprayed the rest paying particular attention to the hoses and wiring,later pressure washing. It's kerosene based so watch out for dissolving hoses, they can literally disappear.

                Is this safe to spray on rubber and plastic parts? Will this harm tires if you get overspray on them? Will this harm leather or cable and electrical housing?
