Engine bay greasy need help on cleaning Im about to install my motor in a few weeks and my car is white so under my hood is covered in grease and old fluids. What degreaser or chemical can i use to make this cleaning a snap. I tried mean green and my grease just laughed at it. Any help please.

Go to a resturaunt supply company or store and find Uni-Kleen. Im a Chef and thats what we use at our establishment. Very potent make sure to wear rubber gloves and a brillo pad. Let it soak in the engine bay for 15 minutes and a little elbow grease should do the trick.

No offense black z but i dont think auto zone degreaser will stand a chance lol im a bartender so could try some stuff we have at work i never thought of that and id have to find a power washer somewhere i dont wanna tow my car to car wash there is got to be some good stuff you can buy somewhere i will also look the uni kleen up
Just be careful when using certain stuff,make sure you mix the correct amount of water with it,and be sure to rinse very well,I used engine bright,a water mix with simple green,and I used a brush tp
^ I also used a brush to get in some of the cracks and spots that are hard to reach,another thing I did that made it look a lot better was painted the plastic piece that sits above the windshield washer fluid,polished the brake lines,tb,valve covers,and a few other things and it came out pretty nice,

You must have some serious pissed off grease if Simple Green didnt budge it. I would do a good degreaser like mentioned and then get in there with some hot soapy water and dawn and wash that thing by hand.
