Default Greased Lightning = WOW!

This stuff works great! I was cleaning up a lot of front end parts today that were all caked with about 30 years of grease and grime. I was surprised at how well it worked, especially considering you can buy the stuff pretty cheaply at Wally World!

Does it come in spray cans or can you buy it by the gallon? I'm thinnking of getting a parts washer or at least a new bucket and I want to get a quantity of good grease remover.

It doesn't come in spray cans, it's dispensed with a squeeze trigger. I bought the largest bottle they had which was 40 oz ($3). They may sell it by the gallon, but I didn't see it at wally world.

I agree. I bought a new DD back in the spring and they covered everything under the hood with some silicone spray. What a mess that made. I used Greased Lightning and it made the mess go away. They had that shiz everywhere. I was furious when I picked the car up.
