Is there any good engine degreasers out there that anybody recommends. A lot of dirt and oil. I was told about something you spray on then after it has say it will just wash off but I forgot the name.

I don't think Royal purple makes it. Not really sure, but I know the name on the bottle is Purple Power degreaser.

Your engine is dirty, well the Peep engine is filthy as a pig pen. but being winter we will not clean up till spring. (A fresh cover gasket is on the menue also.)You can use a lot of degrease spray in a can products. what the Peep gets every spring is a tripple dose of sunlight dishwasher soap mixed with water in a squirt bottle. Let it soak. A good spray with the hose in between soapings. Fresh as a flower in just an hour. Solvent free, cheap, effective. If your area is warm, then have at it all year long.

Simple Green is the only degreaser I use. Takes oil stains out of concrete...

Purple power is where it's at. The only degreaser I've seen or used that was better is now illegal...
