Megs APC is perfect.

I have only used Simple Green. May not be the "best" but I can definately live with this product. Plus I get it at the all-mighty COSTCO:usa

p21s is my favorite.

I voted for the P21s TAW because that`s what I reach for most often. But Griot`s Engine Cleaner works well on dirty ones, as does Hi-Temp`s engine cleaner (mine`s not labeled "Xtreme Clean" but rather "Engine Cleaner", but it`s kinda old). EFHI is one of my favorite APCs, but it doesn`t do much for me on jobs like this.

I`d sure be careful with Simple Green, people have had it discolor aluminum. I`d sure hate to have to pull an engine apart to get things refinished because I used the wrong cleaner.

I like Meguiar`s Safe D-Greaser. It has a little more punch than APC but it won`t turn plastic/rubber grey like some other cleaners will.

Newbie - but PS21 seems to work real well.

Power Purple (You can view the MSDS sheets for their products) Clean-Rite - Solutions for a Cleaner World

Castrol Super Clean Cleaner & Degreaser (can`t find website)

I use both, pay $5 a gallon at WalMart and dilute it for all my interior and exterior needs from vinyl to paintwork.

I swear by them.

I use Meguiar`s APC+ as my next favorite for interior work only. Works great on leather 12:1.

I`m debating betwwen the FK and the Megs` APC for this spring for the greasy work. I used the FK on my bike engine and it did good without oxidizing any polished aluminum too bad

I`m also wanting to try the CD-2 Engine Detailer if I can find it OTC

Last year, I wiped down the plastic and hoses (they weren`t greasy) with a terry towel with M34 and M40 on it..and it looked really good for several months
