Default You need a baff!

Anyone know of any quick methods to clean all the grease off my engine parts? Solvents mainly what I'm looking for. Something I can take an old rag, spray down engine, & wipe off. nm, i found another can of engine degreaser, I thought I was out.

I like to use gunk engine cleaner, then use engine bright afterwards, then armor all all the places I can reach

if the parts are off the car, brake cleaner is a good solvent to get off all the grease and oil and doesn't leave a residue behind. on the car under the hood, Gunk Degreaser is about as good as anything, especially if you use a hot power washer to blast it off.
Stay away from cleaners containing caustics though, as they will mess up your aluminum stuff. Read the labels to be sure whatever you use is compatible with what you plan to use it on to avoid a nasty surprise.
