Simple Green works for many people.

SentraDragon

brake cleaner

Bowlcut

simple green is the most common used cleaner, *** you might have to scrub some

some people use foamy engine bright

calum uses oven cleaner...which not surprisingly works really well

engine degreaser or brake cleaner. really depends on how bad it is.. sometimes e or b cleaner, then simple green then spray it down with some water

oven cleaner does work just make sure it is safe for use on aluminum...some arent so friendly to aluminum

brake clean, engine degreaser but the most important tool would be a wire brush. you wouldnt believe how much some degreaser and a wire brush will do.

its strong stuff , i use it all the time ... you can use it to clean everything as long as you dilute(add water) properly .... for the engine bay i say 3:1 (water:soap) and a soft bristle brush for most areas .

I'm ***** use some of the stuff you guys mentioned. I used some engine cleaner and a rag to clean my engine bay up a bit. I think I am going to have to cover up the alternator and all other electrical and clean the engine bay perfectly. Its filthyyyy.

SOME TIMES ITS A PAIN IN DA @SS WONDERING IF THAT'S WHAT CAUSING IT!!

DO NOT LET PURPLE POWER TOUCH ALUMINUM it will turn it white, ask me how i know. non chlorinated brake cleaner and a brass wire brush it the best for the bad buildup then duragloss multipurpose cleaner(the green liquid) to finish it up.

Ugly

I use the concentrated simple green. let it soak for abotu 5 mins then hose it down. not satisfied, go to town with that is and let it soak for another 10 mins. hose that ish down and it should be gleaming. at least it did for mine
