engine room cleaning

[funinthesun]

i have a 25 year old boat, twin petrols, engine bay needs a decent clean up, can anyone offer general advise or product review to get some decent results?

 

[samwestwood]

What type of boat? A steam clean is always effective but not always practical.
Otherwise a good degreser and lots of rag.

 

[Csail]

Any degreaser or bilge cleaner and a pack of cheap nappies.

Fulcron is pretty good if the oil/grease is not too bad.

GUNK

Gunk is a great degreaser, but it's not easy to get rid of the residual smell! Jizer is probably a better choice for use inside a boat.

I would second Jizer.

Thirded, much better than Gunk in a boat; but where can you buy it?

You may also consider a citrus based degreaser, such as this one.

try having a word with Oil Technics. They make a range of biological cleaners and degreasers used in the refining industry, navies, commercial fleets, etc.

There stuff worked a treat on my engine room bilge when I had a big engine room diesel leak
