Gunk engine degreasing review...!

Re: Gunk engine degreasing review...!

I'm thinking of looking for this stuff next time I go to Pep Boys, but would Purple Power be sufficient to degrease my engine? It's pretty dirty, its a daily driver, and is says on the bottle it can be used at full strength on engine bays. But, I ask you MOL, should purple power really be applied to an engine?

I have been using Gunk to keep my engines clean along with Meguiar's to keep the exterior finishes like new! A great comb!

For a dirty, greasy engine Gunk is the first product that I reach for. Today I wait for Foamy Engine Brite to go on sale. But thirty years ago (or longer) I would buy Gunk in one gallon tins. Very inexpensive and I would put it in a sprayer and soak the engine with it.
Today I warm up the engine for about five minutes then let the heat distribute for another half an hour. Cover the engine completely with Gunk and wait another ten minutes to soak. Then just wash off with a sprayer on a garden hose. Repeat if required. To dress the engine when dry I spray it with Costco's cheapo tire dressing and let it dry again. The wipe with a towel as needed.

Where does all the grease go that is washed off? Down the storm drains? We need to be aware of our obligations to control the disposal of petroleum products into the local water table.

I used the foamy today. Worked really good but I felt I was shooting silly string in the bay.
It was fun!
