cleaning engine compartment

Hi,

Any good ideas/suggestions on cleaning up an emgine compartment while
the drive train is out? I dont have a floor drain or the ability to
deal with lots of degreesers.
Tia,
peter

Consider towing the car to a local do-it-yourself carwash that has a
bay for engine cleaning.

Build a harness for your pet hamster? It was just a suggestion.

Since you don't have a floor drain I'd suggest not degreasing it at
all. I don't know your situation but for some of us cleaning an engine
in the driveway would cause as much as 2 years of sleeping on the
couch!

I've got a decent idea, whoa, 2, this is scary!
Option #1: Simple green (quite a good degreaser and still biodegradable) I'd
spray it on everything and if you can't spray water, waste a sponge and just
sponge everything down. Put newspaper underneath if you need to guard
against stains / spills (are you doing this in someone's living room?
Renters !?#$!
Option #2: Spray everything down with WD-40 (the stuff is the do all cleaner
extraordinary) and use terrycloth towels to wipe everything down.

I can't help you with the pet hamster harness, that's out of my league ;-)

Good luck,
Chris
