Cleaner and Degreaser Recommendation

tony9, Aug 18, 3:32pm
Got a really mucky, greasy and dirty engine, gearbox and under bonnet area to clean up. In the good old days it would just have been a proper steam cleaner, but don't have one of those. I do have a good domestic water blaster.

What is recommended? I have only a casual interest in the environment.

Thanks

cheapest is supersheep degreaser cans on special 6 for 12$ or some deal like that is often on , i also use that to wash rear brakes down beats paying more for brake cleaner

I was told to avoid cheap degreasers as they contain a high percentage of paint stripper and will damage paint but do not know how true this is. To be cautious I buy cheap brands for gear where paint is not an issue but only use top brands on cars and tractors.
