Default Serpintine belt smoot...

Anyone know a good product that will remove serpintine belt dust off aluminum (alternator, A/C compressor, intake manifold)? I tried some purple power and nylon brush in a small area and it didn't work like I wanted. Thanks

+1 for Simple Green & brush it also works wonders on the suspension, rear diff & underside of engine & trans just make sure that you are using eye protection when you use it full strength.

I've used throttle body cleaner to clean metal parts in the engine bay. Don't know if that would hurt anything. I used it so I didn't have to worry about using something like simple green, then having to use water to clean up the simple green. Then wipe up the water.
