ZEP 940 degreaser.....wear gloves....
Also, good ol' EZ-Off oven cleaner, original formula, works well too.

Re: engine degreaser?
I've heard that oven cleaner works like magic! I don't think I'd use it while the engine is still in the vehicle though.
I've heard good things about Simple too. |

Re: engine degreaser?
Put a quart of diesel in a pump up sprayer and soak the cold engine. Ensure you parked where the run-off won't be a problem. I've used a car wash late at night and let the residue run into the grease trap. After about an hour of soaking, hit it with spray wand. Use a car wash that offers hot water. Don't do this in your driveway.
