whats best?

well got all my wires out of the engine bay i hosed all the loose stuff off now whats the best cleaner to use in there? if i can get it super clean i will paint it body color if not i will paint it blk.

 

oven cleaner,greased lightning,castrol super clean,ZEP 505,Zep industrial purple etc will work

I highly reccomend the zep products they carry them at home depot stores

 

so you mix them all together!

 

lol no but i have been know to use the together

 

It get it 'super clean" for body color....sandpaper

 

the car was originaly a silver color from the red leaf country. but an ideot in the 80s
painted it blk with cheap paint. will oven cleaner eat the old pant off to?

 

and probly the factory paint if you let it sit long enough

 

I use the engine brite degreaser from Wal-Mart. Get a few cans of it, a few SOS steel wool dish cleaning pads, and some rubber gloves. Spray everything down with the degreaser and let it sit for about 5 minutes, get an SOS pad wet with the degreaser and go to town (with rubber gloves of course). Then hose it all off, you'll be amazed.

 

I've used both the Oven Cleaner and the Zep products mentioned by Joe Dirt followed by hitting it with a rented steam cleaner. 99% of the time I don't have to go back and reclean anything.

Ditto the oven cleaner,It will even remove undercoating.Easy off is awsome stuff.

 

Oven cleaner is the best cheap solution. Two or three cans and a scotch pad should do it.

 

Oven cleaner is my choice .. For best results put the car in the sun let metal warm up spray oven cleaner let o/c stand use wire brush , scotch brite etc. scrub all area respray o/c rescrub then rinse with hose or better yet pressure washer and retreat as nessary ..



Oven cleaner will cut just about anything ..

Take deep breaths while using the oven cleaner, it might help.
