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.
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.
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.
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
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.
You can t do that with modern radiators. They have plastic tops and bottoms that get hot from driving and hitting them with water before the radiator water cools will crack them. Then you need a new radiator. Old radiators were all metal so it wasn't a problem.
@@MotorcycleEnjoyer01 two things. First of all if the plastic radiator caps are not hot then obviously the rapid cooling caused by the pressure washer is not going to cause a problem. But the other thing is the problem that is caused when it's hot doesn't really show up for a long time until afterwards you start noticing a very small small drip under your car and then you realize there's a crack in the crack gets bigger and bigger and you have to buy a whole new radiator.
Yes it works great. First use blower or compressor for loose dirt, then light rinse, then spray the gunk. Some spots will need a brushing. Rinse it all off, gently, no power wash.
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 🤟🇨🇦
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!
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.
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.
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.
The main ingredient in the engine cleaner is Kerosene. You can also use oven cleaner WARNING!!! be careful with rubber parts. The oven cleaner has LYE in it and will kick most rubber parts ass..
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.
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!!!
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!
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.
I use this on my vehicles and it works wonders. You ain't using it right home boy. After I'm done i use the shine and man, my engine bays look good and smell good lol
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.
Best degreaser I’ve used but I used a power washed I’m going to go over it again everything is taped up and it has no engine I’m doing an ls swap and need it painted
Does it start up now? You didn't cover the electrical and alternator and prevented them from getting wet. I hope you didn't have to buy a new alternator.
If you can see the ground when you look in the engine bay and there is no engine splash shield thats a 100% walk away. All the grime off the road salt and rust.
Did not cover the engine well enough with the gunk missed a lot of spots on the engine. Try it again and make sure you spray everything down real good.
Good advice because most of the time when i leave to go to work i don't say goodbye or cuddle with him and something was just telling me today i need to stop that, so now before i go to work i know he wants to cuddle for at least a couple of minutes.
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.
I use Bilt Hamber Surfex HD. Water based, biodegradable, non-toxic. I have just used it so far on parts, not on the whole engine but it works extremely well. I did not bother with dilution, just used it full strength.
You did it all wrong, go to a car wash ( powerful spray) spray the engine with water. Apply the Gunk Degreaser and let it sit for 15 minutes. Wash it down. You'll get a better result.
Oil and grease on engine and engine bay keeps the rust at bay. The cleanest part of my car from rust is the engine bay. Why clean something that offers no visual value?
weed sprayer . Kerosene, cheap dollar store laundry detergent, & Dawn Soap .... BEST ENGINE DEGREASER EVER ! Shake & Spray . leave overnight . rinse next day .
Diesel fuel in a spray bottle ...let sit for 30 or so minutes waaalaaaa clean
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
Thank you for single handedly destroying the environment. I’m sure you just rinse it right into the street.
@@MrSagerific95where tf else are you gonna rinse it 😂
@@TruBimmer into a catch, poor the catch into a bucket and take it to your town dump as hazardous waste. You know… like a professional who cares.
Did you brush off the gunk? No.
Did you wipe off the gunk? No.
Is this a fair review? No. 🙄
💯🤣
Right ✅️
"I guess" as he's holding the can which has the instructions written on it.
Absolutely!
Has no idea how to use product, doesn't read instruction, isn't impressed by result of said product 😂
He didn't even cover the electrical and alternator. I wondered if it started up??
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.
If this is how bro cleans i dont want to see how he maintains his home
Purple power has been the best degreaser I’ve used and a 2.5 gallon jug is $12
let the purple sit to long it eats through paint, gunk wont
2.5 gallon now 20$ in Boston
I used house degreaser and it works great
With an engine that bad u gotta use a brush or some sort of agitation.
I like the Gunk brand citrus degreaser in a pump bottle! Warm up the engine first but it’s less corrosive and smells nice
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.
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!
Correct. Who told this guy that dirt/ grease would just magically disappear? I hope he has a lady to clean his home! 🤣
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.
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
I'm surprised nobody else has agreed with you, I think degreaser and WD 40 are quite effective!!
Fifty years ago it came in in gallon cans and smelled wonderful. When brushed on a warm engine was unbeatable .

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.
I use the Armorall Tire Foam spray on a warm engine right before I retire for the night. Works well

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.
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.

Gunk is petroleum-based and can do damage to electrical parts. Such as starter alternator.
Anything liquid sprayed on those things will mess them up
Yes it does I spray my bike in winter and clean in the spring
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.
It works.. just have to use pressure washer or steam clean it. Either will take care it.
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.
the dressing stuff they make for after you clean it really does keep it looking clean too.
Check the pcv valve too prevents oil blow back
I use this on my vehicles and it works wonders. You ain't using it right home boy. After I'm done i use the shine and man, my engine bays look good and smell good lol

Thanks for sharing an honest review... Considering it costs circa US $33 / INR 2800/- result doesn't seem to justify.
Perhaps cover the alternator?
I use tire cleaner on my 04 Chevy came out really clean
Great work. Not bad at all. I'd use it.
I literally was bored on break at work and it was a super crusty dodge dakota I had nothing better to mess with haha. Thanks man!
@@misfit765 nice.
Best degreaser I’ve used but I used a power washed I’m going to go over it again everything is taped up and it has no engine I’m doing an ls swap and need it painted
My step dad had a blue dodge Dakota just like that one, is name was Rob, he lived in Washington.
And…...
Put it on the engine when it was still warm?
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.
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
After use spray wash the engine, spray the engine with WD-40 engine wet and it will look great 👍
Dude sprayed it right into the alternator 🤦🏼♂️
poco veneno no mata
I always doo
No need to fix the horn if the belt squeels bad enough.
And?
And how many times have I used GUNK and sprayed it directly on the Alternator and never had ANY KIND OF PROBLEMS !
Did you even unplug the battery before hosing down your engine with cracked wiring on the side???
Do i disconnect the battery before spraying ?
Dollar store oven clean is the best degreaser you can use!! Spray it on, let it sit for 5 min, spray it off!
oven cleaner eats through paint
Oven cleaner also works lol
SEE the problem you have is that the engage is not greasy enough, its more rusty!
Trueee lol
Does it start up now? You didn't cover the electrical and alternator and prevented them from getting wet. I hope you didn't have to buy a new alternator.
Did you warm up the engine first. It works better when hot. Oh, always use two bottles not one.
Okay now what was in the second spray bottle water ?
It's funny that he never heard of Gunk. He must have been born yesterday
Do you know how to get rid of the smell? When I turn my ac on it smells like the degreaser
You're gonna have to spray it down real good. I'd check and see if you mightve sprayed near your cabin filter
Oven Cleaner works wonders.
If you can see the ground when you look in the engine bay and there is no engine splash shield thats a 100% walk away. All the grime off the road salt and rust.
😂🤣😭
I have some wd40 engine degreaser it's works but works best if agitated
Just curious why you never covered up. Alternator and exposed electrical components
Did not cover the engine well enough with the gunk missed a lot of spots on the engine. Try it again and make sure you spray everything down real good.
This is the gel version. Get the one that says Foamy, works much better.
Quit buying that crap. Just go to the dollar store and get some cheap, used to be $1, oven cleaner. Simple
You forgot the part where u gotta scrub aswell
Some people are lazy, they want everything on a Silver Platter or have someone else do it for them
Good advice because most of the time when i leave to go to work i don't say goodbye or cuddle with him and something was just telling me today i need to stop that, so now before i go to work i know he wants to cuddle for at least a couple of minutes.

works better with the engine warm
Ive used carb cleaner before as degreeser and it worked better then degreeser lol
Not good for seals, would avoid that in the future l
Eats paint and will cost a hell of a lot more with all the cans needed to do an engine compartment. Oh ya and what he said. ⬆️
Purple power straight. Do not dilute it.
eats paint

NEVER spray your engine with high pressure water. Especially newer cars.
I used this stuff, and it dies not work, I can't find any decreaser that does.
It works great. Use on a warm engine. Also use a hard bristle brush, don't just leave it on. The dirt/ grease won't disappear on its own.
agitate with a brush. indirectly rinse with water. Finish with towel. bag over alternator and fuse box
Why not just wipe down with wet towels isn't it better than spraying into the engine 😁
Does better with pressure washing
Gunk is an overpriced easy off oven cleaner that does a ok job.
Simple green works alot better.
I’ve been using this all my life that right there is not how you do it, sir
Thank you bro but I already used it before seeing this
I’m afraid of watering my engine like this.
Run the engine up to operating temperature. Spray it on. Let it sit for 20. Spray it off. The smell is atrocious, and it works...ok. Not the best.
Well, you didn't read instructions I bet because you didn't know how long you are suppose to let it sit.
I let it sit as long as the instruction said 😏
@@misfit765ya sit on a rust bucket that's not gonna clean off rust 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is the junk suppose to just vanish into thin air? No.
Warm engine, a bit of pressurized water and thats it.
The foam shit is great
It works great with some scrubbing read the can 😂
Oven cleaner from the $1 store tough stuff and a brush 👍🏾
He didn't show the mess it left under the vehicle.
Walmart brand better get two cans... and spray on it and let it sit and skeet it out God bless and Godspeed ✌️.
How much boss
You did it all wrong, go to a car wash ( powerful spray) spray the engine with water. Apply the Gunk Degreaser and let it sit for 15 minutes. Wash it down. You'll get a better result.
Instructions say warm engine. As far as i saw you didnt do that
Use a pressure washer instead of a garden hose next time .
You forgot to disconnect the battery bro 😂😂
Next time warm the motor first and then apply wait a while wash off..later bro
Use oven cleaner it’s waaaaaaay better and cheaper
Run the engine until warm and shut off. Then spray with cleaner. Work mo better.
The other reviews on other channels not good enough?
Just buy dimmer and let it on 5 mins, wash out grease and done
Gunk works great
You used it while the engine was still hot. Next time use the gunk spray when engine is cold.
