I got a bottle of this a few months back when it first came out, I have NOT done any engine bays in like 3 months so it sat on the shelves. Yesterday though, I up-sold a customer after seeing her engine bay >_> and my god was it dirty. Great way to test it this stuff, so lets get started.

Smell of product is not bad at all either. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. All in all, its $5.00 well spent. Hope you enjoyed my review! - Colin @ Colin's Auto Detailing BEFORE
I'm assuming this product is available OTC and geared more towards consumers? Looks like it works well but for most of us I would think an APC is more cost effective.
I always have great success with Meguiars Super Degreaser, and even then sometimes, it needs a little help, but not much.. Cleans, removes all other gunk, and allows whatever you apply adhere and stay there for a long time. You did a beautiful job, New Braunfels !!! Dan F
Looks like it did a good job! I think I'll stick with my Zep Citrus though...great cleaning power and super affordable so I can feel free to use as much as possible. lol
