I'm surprised nobody is using a brush with the degreaser... chemical alone only goes so far but with an old grimy motor you need some mechanical removal. I use a stiff bristle brush to really scrub the 200k mile oil and grease

And I believe it was gunk who makes a detail kit for an engine bay. It comes with degreasers and a can of shine. I use pink thunder, its an industrial cleaner that you mix yourself. I mix it very strong. You can see the foam turn brown.

I find the pressure washer usually does that for me. I did have an old International with a Detroit 6V53 for a few weeks and the gas powered pressure washer only took the dust off, and a few chunks that made a mess in the driveway. Everything under the the engine was still just as grimey as before!

Same... Anything removed gets scrubbed unless I've already gotten it clean previously.

WTF is up with those stock photos? They couldn't find anything else, or wait until the dragon was unloaded? lol

Look closer. That's a carnival ride.
I used to wash A/M32-86Ds, the 4-71 Detroit Diesel-powered flightline generators the Air Force used for decades. They were always horribly grimy. We had a lift in the wash rack that we would put them on, and then we'd have to scrub them clean. If a -71's not leaking oil, it doesn't have any in it, and the radiator fan blows from the engine outward, so the radiator was always caked with oil and trash. We could get them clean, but it takes a lot of hot water, and you're usually drenched when you finally get it done. Don't wear your best uniform!
