Formula 88 degreaser
Anybody use Formula 88 degreaser on their engine bay? I had a leak from one of my valve covers and I need to clean up.
Results, good bad?
Before you post about watching out for the Opti, I know. Water's not going anywhere near the opti.
Thanks

Do your self a favor and use straight “Simple Green” and a lot of rags and an old tooth brush. It may take a little more time but the results will be well worth it. You will not have to worry about anything under the hood getting it’s finish stripped.
Use “Mothers Aluminum Polish” on all of the aluminum parts under the hood. You will be ready for the car shows in no time.

simple green is the ONLY cleaner to use. IT will NOT hurt the suspension fiberglass like ALL the others. It will NOT repeat NOT hurt the aluminum... I heard the same things several years agao... contacted the company ..they actually called me. It has something to do with a 24 hour submurge issue on combat aluminum on fighter planes in the military... Gordon Killebrew uses SG..thats good enough for me...anything else will ruin leaf springs. Simple green will need a little elbow grease to get the stuff stuff though.
