My motor was getting pretty grimmy so I bought a bottle to try out. Says it burns skin and kills all known life forms so you know its gotta be good. Anyways I sprayed it on waited 5 min and hit it with a second coat at a car wash. Sprayed it all off and WOW.
Good stuff but dont leave it on to long !!!

wow... it doesn't eat rubber or anything bad like that?

 

it eats aluminum. don't let it sit too long.

 

What about damage to rubber/silicone though? Thats all I'd be worried about. Going to take a hell of a lot and a long time to go through the manifolds or anything.

 

yeah I cleaned under my wheel wells with that stuff and damn it ate the paint off of some spots. Had to go back over it with a coat of paint. It did clean it though. I think on the back of the jug it has the differant % of castrol to water for differant parts of a car. I like the stuff but unless you put the right % in your just asking for disaster.

 

My catrols super clean never irritated my skin or anything like that, but it sure did a hell of a job cleaning the brake dust and dirt off of my wheels.

Random FYI: If you want to remove paint, use the aircraft paint remover. That ish is crazy. The paint just bubles up in matter of seconds.

Castrol Super Clean is, as far as I can tell, a miracle chemical . I've used to clean damn near ANYTHING you can think of, and it does it GREAT.

WOW that looks really nice

it didnt damage the rubber or anything? looks very shiny and clean

 

Thanks, Its the 3rd time I,ve used it now and am pretty impressed with the stuff. And no it doesnt hurt your rubber at all.

 

Where are you guys getting this stuff? I've looked in a couple Autozones, Wal-Mart, and Advanced Auto. None of the places had it.

 

kmart and napa has it

 

ive found that engine degreaser and a nice stream of water works very well

 

Has anyone had problems with water shorting out the alternator? I have been itching to clean my engine, but I had some bad luck on my old Supra, the alternator died shortly after washing the engine.
Thanks,

I've heard to cover your battery/alternator with plastic bags.

 

I sprayed it right on the alt and hosed it off no problems. Just spray it on and rinse it right off a few times. I used a car wash for some better water pressure and I could leave all the grease there instead of my driveway !!!

So... the real question is: What happens when you shoot this at an open flame? Any cool colors?



Ok serious question. Is this a citrus product or just the usual tolulene or carb cleaner?
