Re: What is a good engine compartment cleaner
meg's does not make an engine specific cleaner. I have had good luck using super degreaser,safe degreaser(discontinued), apc, and apc plus. All of these will make a good engine compartment cleaner. Just remember to protect vital electonic components under the hood.

It is also good to cover up water pump, alternator ,power steering pump,air con compressor, any items that use bearings as tere lub could be washed away. Personally i clean engines and compartments with the minimum of water rather use a damp sponge or cloth.

Nope, but I used the original vs. Meg's APC (not APC+), both diluted 10:1 and the APC worked much better (yes, dummy I know I'm using the wrong product - LOL).----------------------------------
