Re: Whats the best way to clean up gunked up oil and grease residue?

Good question for me right now too. The top of the engine gets sprayed clean when the truck gets detailed. BUT, the underside hasn't seen a cleaning ever. I started by using a dull kitchen knife and a chopstick. There are rubber boots under there that you don't want to hurt. 40 years worth of zirk grease dry, goop crusted on, oh my. Spent two hours so far and barely made a dent. Theyre right, eye protection, long sleeves, etc. but I know I'm doing something good for the truck so it's ok. Laying under the truck on a sunny 45 degree day, tunes going yeah. I'll revisit this thread when I've scrapped off the hard stuff and am ready for chemicals. Thanks for the advice
