Re: Gunk engine degreasing review...!

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

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.

Re: Gunk engine degreasing review...!

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.

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

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?

It's sold at many/most auto supply stores in the U.S.A., but it may be hard to find outside of the states.
Here's a link to their home page which has a "contact us" link under company info on the right side of the page.

If you contact them, they might be able to help you find it in your area.

Thanks for the link.They make a lot of stuff these days. When I used to use it,was just engine/parts degreaser. (In the UK.)

Re: Gunk engine degreasing review...!

I used to get Gunk years ago.Spray or pour tins.Was always an orange colored tin/can. Unfortunatley,I can't get it anymore.

Where's it from? USA? UK? ?????

I have used the EB Gel. Worked pretty much the same as the regular stuff, just didn't run as much, which I think was the point, lol.

Re: Gunk engine degreasing review...!

I note that Gunk puts out several engine degreasers: EB1 Engine Brite (original formula), EBZ14 Zero VOC Engine Brite, EBGEL Engine Brite Gel, and FEB1 Foamy Engine Brite.

Has anyone tried all of these? I wonder how they compare.

Gunk has has a two-in-one degreaser and detailer: CEB1 Engine Shine. I confess that I am skeptical of products that claim they can both clean my engine and put a shine on it.

Re: Gunk engine degreasing review...!

I've used that stuff before. Works great, but it does stink.

Re: Gunk engine degreasing review...!

this stuff rocks! i used it to clean off grease that flew under my swingarm on my motorcycle, tough greasy areas on my old land cruiser. it helps when you need something strong! other than that i always just use soap and water and some good ol elbow grease

Re: Gunk engine degreasing review...!

Gunk,great stuff.used to buy the big orange tins and the spray cans.Can't find it here though,so i use a castrol equivalent.Good stuff as well,but more expensive.

Re: Gunk engine degreasing review...!

1. Is the odor less with the citrus version?
2. Do you feel it works as good as the regular formula?

If I recall.....yes and yes. It actually worked very well. Just put a new engine in the truck so I havent used it in a while.

Re: Gunk engine degreasing review...!

After trying just about everything available Commercial/Industrial/Consumer products nothing compares for price and results.....

(Pros) doesn't hurt Chrome, plastic etc....

(Cons) smells bad, don't get on paint or filmy residue will remain and most important it (WILL) strip wax..


Joe's tips to engine de-greasing

Spray on cool engine, let sit for few minutes, start engine than pressure wash ....

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Caution }}}}}}}}}}}}

It's HIGHLY flammable make sure you rinse it well.......Joe

Are you serious? I would be too afraid to put anything that ends with that on my engine. Now as far as in the engine , that's a different story.
