Thats what i do....ive been told that because men just would rather start something and walk away for a bit they make the best chili' s and stews....its true...i start making stuff and then i walk away and forget about it until im like....man im really hungry right now...Oh Snap! I should check that chili im making!

 

I think that's called "Stoner Moment".

 

I prefer brain fart....or maybe i have that ADD thing...who knows...

 

do you guys just wet your engine first before you spray the simple green or just spray it on there? i know you need to start with a cool engine. my engine needs some TLC -Mike-

 

If there is a lot of mud and dirt on it, I would.

I have heard of people using pressure washers, but I prefer a garden hose. The engine and underhood electrical system are pretty much waterproof, but some seals and gaskets just are not meant to stand up to high pressure water from a pressure washer. You especially need to be careful if you have any leaks at all. If oil can get out, high pressure water can definately get in.

What I usually do is hose off loose dirt with a garden hose, spray everything with Orange Blast (cleaner/degreaser comparable to Simple Green Automotive), let it sit for a few minutes, then hose off the Orange Blast. It works well for me.

 

yep simple green + carwash and as a bonus simple green is biodegradeable..
so its not going to kill your lawn if you do it in the driveway.

 

Where all can you buy Simple Green?

 

Just about any store in the world. lol

Grocery stores, Wal-mart, K-mart, Target....you get the idea.

 

i get it at Lowes. A 1 gallon conentrate that I can mix down. It lasts a long time for $10.

 

what's a good ratio to mix it too? i was thinking about 4:1 1 part Simple Green, 4 parts water? -Mike-

 

I just did this two days ago...sprayed it down with a garden hose. Then sprayed the simple green on, let it sit for a while, and hosed it off. Worked like a charm
