Does Gunk Engine degreaser work? Let's find out!

[@willkelley7747]

Diesel fuel in a spray bottle ...let sit for 30 or so minutes waaalaaaa clean

[@waleedalmalki7216]

I heard that diesel will make the hoses hard , so they would crack in shorter life

This stuff has kerosene in it… basically same thing lol

Did you brush off the gunk? No.
Did you wipe off the gunk? No.
Is this a fair review? No. 🙄

Purple power has been the best degreaser I’ve used and a 2.5 gallon jug is $12

[@plap.]

let the purple sit to long it eats through paint, gunk wont

[@omarawad7038]

2.5 gallon now 20$ in Boston

[@ChefLaRue]

Yes it works like a charm. MUST warm engine first, not hot, just warm. Spray well and walk away for 20-30 minutes and spray with some pressure. You will absolutely notice the difference.

[@ramonbriones4487]

With an engine that bad u gotta use a brush or some sort of agitation.

[@okramw1]

Let's clean years of neglect in 10 minutes 😅 I don't think so. Considering the amount of dirt on that engine & the way you used the product, it did an excellent job.

[@gillgetter3004]

I like the Gunk brand citrus degreaser in a pump bottle! Warm up the engine first but it’s less corrosive and smells nice

[@whitetrashandhellbound6905]

I bought some of this BEFORE reading the warnings in the back lol... scary shit on there. I decided to return it. Dry Clean (Brush+Vac)... Wet Clean (Water+Wipe... Soapy Water+ Brushes)... Spray Off. Looks bran new. Took longer to do but nothing beats Elbow Grease and Love #ChrisFix 🤟🇨🇦

[@talenalewis1823]

Why exactly did you return it because i was going to get a can? What was scary about using it. I have a slow oil leak and my mechanic needs my engine cleaned to find out where the leak is coming from. Please explain!

[@jerrymartin5]

Simple green is the best stuff that I have ever used I use that and after everything dries I spray wd-40 and then take an old rag that's clean of course and it makes everything shine and look brand new

[@scottwilliam9883]

I'm surprised nobody else has agreed with you, I think degreaser and WD 40 are quite effective!!

[@magicman2002]

Works better if you apply it too a warm engine, let it sit, then use a pressure washer. Its a good product.

[@DougsterWolverineGarage]

Use a cheap toilet brush for better results. The main ingredient in engine cleaner is Kerosene. You can also use oven cleaner WARNING!!! Be careful with rubber parts! oven cleaner has LYE in it and will kick most rubber parts ass!

[@WAstateEXconvict]

You have to agitate the gunk while degreaser is sitting on it plus using compressed air or leaf blower first before you put anything on it helps too!

[@MisterMonsieur]

Correct. Who told this guy that dirt/ grease would just magically disappear? I hope he has a lady to clean his home! 🤣

[@bonusnudges]

Gunk isn’t anything as good as it used to be . The original brush on gunk was a dark brown colour and when It came into contact with water , it would turn viscous . That stuff worked amazingly well . The new stuff is a translucent red colour and it doesn’t work nearly as well as the old stuff . The new stuff is basically glorified power washer soap

[@craigbosko2229]

Thanks for the warning I really appreciate it plus it's probably been duted and broken down because of the EPA.Maybe I'll drive up to Canada and clean my engine off up there,they don't have any EPA rules up there.

[@HueMongussD]

he says Gunk like he's never heard of it. Bruh! That's the best. Just don't saturate belt tensioner pully bearings, or you'll need to replace them.

[@Andrew-zv4fm]

1. You spray the car with the Gunk engine degreaser or any engine degrease.
2. You take a brush that is appropriate for this type of work and use the brush to agitate the decreser to lift off the grime
3. Then you spray or wipe off the remaining engine degreaser.

[@nickyborrisino]

Gasoline and compressed air works great. Gasoline has detergents in it which breaks down grease and oil, and it also leaves a rust inhibiting film after it evaporates off. Just don’t use it on hot/warm engines.

[@misfit765]

Thanks for the advice man!

It looks way better after in my opinion. I was thinking 8. I feel you needed two or three cans to cover the engine more. I feel like u might have places that needed thicker layer of product. Nice video!!!

[@misfit765]

Thanks man !

[@gunsncars469]

My 2005 gto was about 5yrs old when I used that stuff. After rinsing it off, my belt tensioner was screaming bloody murder. It could have been on the way out, and that pushed it over, but I was pissed. Had less than 35k miles on it.

[@djcfun]

Thanks for sharing an honest review... Considering it costs circa US $33 / INR 2800/- result doesn't seem to justify.

[@haydensalles]

Dude sprayed it right into the alternator 🤦🏼‍♂️

And how many times have I used GUNK and sprayed it directly on the Alternator and never had ANY KIND OF PROBLEMS !

[@jamesrobert782]

My step dad had a blue dodge Dakota just like that one, is name was Rob, he lived in Washington.

[@craigbosko2229]

And…...

[@AxelfoleyTheGreat]

Detailers have better products for stuff like this. A pressure washer works great. But if you don't have one a good degreaser with soap and a brush works good too.

[@charleywalker2982]

Easy off oven cleaner is the same stuff only cheaper but I like the way gunk sprays, I’ve never tried the gel, always used the stuff that foams.

[@hectorraigosa7149]

It works.. just have to use pressure washer or steam clean it. Either will take care it.

[@ottopartz1]

Simple green or the jungle jake from the local farm and barn seem to be the best thing for a quick soak and rinse type engine cleaning in my experience. Then I just spray anything metal down with a bit of spray lube along with hitting any pulleys with it. Also try not to hose down the alternator and starter too much, they don't ever seem to appreciate it.

[@robertmendick3195]

The manual car wash bay with its high pressure spray wand used to be the way. The old timers would put plastic bags over the alternator and distributer....With the newer cars with all the electronics it may be a bad idea.

[@johngoguen361]

Yes it does I spray my bike in winter and clean in the spring

[@Ru2stee]

The stuff works great in my experience but be very careful when spraying that stuff on shiny aluminum parts, especially your master cylinder reservoir or an intake for instance. Was a pain getting all the orange corrosion off my new edelbrock intake.

[@chrishoward8187]

Oven Cleaner works wonders.

[@radiorahim861]

[@matthewyates3230]

the dressing stuff they make for after you clean it really does keep it looking clean too.

[@blameusa7082]

SEE the problem you have is that the engage is not greasy enough, its more rusty!

[@misfit765]

Trueee lol

[@Truckeditz2]

Need to pressure wash it off or hose it off and if you don’t the dirt degreases but it sits on the engine bay and everything else.

[@jasonfayock2664]

It's funny that he never heard of Gunk. He must have been born yesterday

[@Johnpf1969]

Gunk is petroleum-based and can do damage to electrical parts. Such as starter alternator.

[@plap.]

Anything liquid sprayed on those things will mess them up

[@backoff3477]

when i was a kid my dad had a 72 f-100 pick up and hewould pour gas on the engine and never understood why. but now I know.

[@misfit765]

Gasoline is an awesome degreaser. On an engine IA questionable but hey old heads new a lot of smart shit... even if it was smart lol

[@ryannoblett9017]

I've attempted to clean up greasy engine bays with this stuff before and it was basically useless. If you spray it on, let it sit, and rinse it off like this, it doesn't clean anything that the hose alone wouldn't. If you pressure wash it off, same deal, no better than just pressure washing in the first place. Simple green is far better, and if you want something that cuts oil and grease fast, mineral spirits does the trick.

[@Mark-zc6gm]

Check the pcv valve too prevents oil blow back

[@Anthony_The_Disney_Guy]

This is the gel version. Get the one that says Foamy, works much better.

[@michaelspringob9937]

Warm engine, a bit of pressurized water and thats it.

[@bp2335]

You forgot to disconnect the battery bro 😂😂

[@Sam9369]

Don’t clean your engine this way, and especially don’t use water. Or any liquid unless it’s oil. ESPECIALLY if its an old motor. Just look at it like this, if you clean all that gunk off by spraying chemicals on then spraying it with water, When it drys, all of your hoses and rubber gaskets that came in contact with the water and degreaser will start to crack. All of your sensors will start to malfunction and the you will have created a big headache of a problem. ESPECIALLY Purple power.

[@JamesSmith-ui2hv]

works better with the engine warm

[@andresacosta7747]

Thank you bro but I already used it before seeing this

[@richardwarfordjr.5622]

It works great with some scrubbing read the can 😂
