Good Underhood Degreaser?
 

I blew an oil line underhood on my dually & @ 50+psi it sprayed EVERYWHERE. What's a good degreaser that doesn't stain everything it contacts? I'm trying to clean as much as possible before heating the motor back up again trying to get it to a carwash.

Dawn dish soap, mix it till soapy, wash affected area with soft bristle brush.Rinse

depending on what the oil is on, purple power works great at removing oil

While driving down the road, a line for the oil cooler came off.
60psi w/an open 1/2" line = oil EVERYWHERE under the hood (core support, block, intake, headers, hood, suspension, front tire, firewall).

But.... It's @ my shop where there is no outdoor water supply which is why I posted the thread. Just looking for viable options of cleaning products that don't cause issues.

I know the purple power works great...but it needs washed after applying....
I had a transmission in my truck bed that dumped gear dope all over my line-x...it stained the heck out of it...soap and water wouldn't get it out....I soaked it with purple power and now it looks good as new...
also a buddy of mine spilled engine oil from a diesel in his shop floor..stained his concrete black....pp to the rescue....its clean as a whistle now....
it does say not to use on auto paint but ive used it to remove road grime and tar off my truck and it hasn't damaged anything....but it will take the wax off ....

go to your nearest Dollar General and but a gallon jug of LA's Totally Awesome degreaser. Cornball name, i know, but it cleans as good as anything out there plus it's only $3 a gallon.

Purple Power. Depending on how dirty the engine bay, this product can be diluted.
