what is the go to cleaning products for the bilge area? i removed one engine for a rebuild and would like to clean up as much as i can while everything is out.

Need a degreaser like simple green or purple power…some of the citrus based products work ok too.

I always use simple green.

Awesome, i was hoping it was something simple. Thanks

Just make sure the purple power doesnt get on polished aluminum or will discolor

Beyond the cleaners get some dollar store brushs. Ones with a 360 degree brush like a toilet bowel brush etc. Cleaner by itself will only get you so far. Need to scrub to.

This has worked for me. Home Depot has 2g jugs of the industrial strength stuff for cheap.

The "tub o' towels" wipes work great for the areas you don't want to soak in water FYI. I use them on engines, bilge area, upholstery, wheels, etc etc.

Cannot beat Castrol SUPERCLEAN...

I agree but you can't get it in Castrol anymore. There's another brand in a purple bottle that looks the same and works the same though. Don't get it on polished aluminum!

+1 on the aluminum...be careful.
