Default Product Review - Gunk Citrus Engine Brite

Thought I should clean my engine bay since it looked like this...


So I went to Pep Boys and saw a bunch of engine cleaners, so I chose this one because I remember using some other Gunk engine cleaner when I was in high school...

It's really easy to use, took about 20 minutes total and voila...








The first clean engine bay pic you can see I didn't get it good where the pulleys and serp belt are, I'm going to get another can and get it nice and clean.

No, I didn't use a water pressurizer, just a garden hose with a nozzle on it

I always found that if you let the engine warm up a bit it can really help break-up the crap that is stuck on good. That Gunk is some of the better stuff I used. As far as water under the hood, dont worry, I have yet to see a '99 and up have a problem with it.

Looks real nice. I hate the "regular" Gunk...it stinks so bad. It works very well, however.
