I used Fast Orange hand cleaner and a 3M barbecue scrubber to clean the
engine compartment of my car while the engine and trans. where out. It
worked better than any spray-on engine cleaner ever has. It removed all
the grease and dirt build up plus most of the flat black paint the DPO
painted everything with. Then I removed or masked off everything under
the hood and repainted it to match the body colour.
