Engine Degreasing

The biggest problem i run into with high pressure, is the water getting down the spark plug holes...other than that ive never had a problem that hasn't gone away when the engine was warmed up and dried off with engine heat.
I have used a lot of degreasers, from the el-cheap-o at the parts store to greased lightning and purple power(passion?). They all work decently but seem to leave residue on painted surfaces, such as valve covers.
In light of all that the BEST, I mean BEST degreaser I have ever used is Honda-Bright. You get it at the parts counter at any Honda dealer. It is as strong if not stronger than purple power and WILL NOT leave residue/corrosion on aluminum and will not leave residue on painted surfaces. I HIGHLY recommend it. I have used it with great success on my own cars, and cars I have sold.90 LX PS/AC delete, pacesetter header, gutted cat, resonator delete, full 2 inch exhaust. rx7 VAF, home made intake, F&R ebay STB. 18* timing.

^ uh... (kind of lazy today, I didn't want to type that lol) Anyways, I use this purple ( ) degreaser that sells at Wal-mart. and what I do is I go to the carwash, and the first thing to do is spray the whole engine bay (covering the electric components with a rag, oh and engine off but warm) then I rinse it and dry it off with a rag. Results are like it's a new engine bay

that greased lightning is good stuff but dont let it sit on your hands for too long because it eats your skin away

I'm buying parts i don't need, With money I don't have, To impress people I don't know.
Some people are like slinkies. They're not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
