Mix in this order: 1/4 cup soap / 2 TBSP baking soda / 7 drops alcohol / 2 cups water /1/4 cup vinegar. Just used 2 batches to clean an engine and my shop floor after a bad oil leak from a missing gasket after repairs. Worked great, and my grandson said my shop smelled nice. Bonus.
I use petrol ( gas ) and a little paint brush if I don’t have shop degreaser It usually melts old oily crap that builds up around engines and gearbox’s It really does work 👍👍👍👍 But don’t smoke 🚭 while ur using this method It can be a little dangerous 🔥🔥🔥 Great video. Nice guy.
The reason there's a chemical reaction is because one is acidic the other is alkaline. You're neutralising both. Baking soda is commonly used for neutralising acid spills. None of the Engine Degreaser products I've come across include any of the ingredients you're using. Most use a mix of solvents and advanced surfactants.
Thanks for the comments. The ingredients in this formula are not my own, they were found online, I just made the video on my attempt to use it. It works, I can't say it's better or worse than other degreaser. I'd like to find more recipe's and give them a shot for comparison, I just haven't gotten to it yet.
Lmao! Then they wouldn't be here! They would be buying expensive garbage! 2$ for vinger, the same bottle for advanced rust remover 40$ and it didn't work good at all really!
Thanks 4 the suggestio. Buh what r 1. SOLVENTS & 2. DFACTANTS??😢😮 SORRY CHEMISTRY WENT FROM EAR THROUGH THE OTHER. ALSO BELEIVE TEACHER NEVER EXPOUNDED ON WHY & HOW PH S APPLICABLE😢😮💭🤔 JUST BEING REAL. PLS LEAVE US CORRECT INGRRFIENTS 4 DEGREADER WOULD LIKE 2 TRY
wrap a plastic bagn tape around your distributor and alternator before taking a pressure washer to it. maybe if you hit it with a hose for an extended amount of time as well
So what do you think? Do you have a favorite degreaser or home made degreaser recipe? How'd this stuff do compared to your experience? Thanks for watching!
how is oven cleaner on plastics and rubber ? my 06 Golf is full of it. I know oven cleaner is used for intake and exhaust manifold cleaning. It literally eats the caked up carbon deposits.
@@Juppie902 there are rubber seal on ovens too, oven cleaner works fine with that rubber, i think plastics and rubber for engines are ok with oven cleaner, you can always try small area
@@TheDyrehauge its hard enough replacing hoses and plastic coolant flanges as is on this crumbling car, so i'd rather have someone tell me they tried and its safe before i try
@@Juppie902 ive painted cars for living for a long time so i have degreased alot of stuff, never ruined any rubber, as long as you dont use a hard solvent youll be fine i think but yeah try asking a professional detailer😁
Cool vid. I use WD40 on the electrics and heavy grease, then I put 50/50 dawn dish soap and water I a spray bottle. Then attach the hose to the water heater drain and spray the motor down. You engine will never be cleaner and it will still run! I will run you a little more, but worth it
what do you mean? I showed before, then after a single spray/rinse, and then after a second spray/rinse. I mentioned that I could probably do it a third time, but I didn't. Thanks for watching!

Thanks 4bthe ingredients,will try some.👏👏
Good morning to your whole loving family and friends, thank you very much for your video about diy degreaser.

Great video. Nice guy.
Thanks for the comments! Definitely sounds like the sort of clean-up you'd do outdoors. :D

welcome! and thanks for watching!
I use brake clean as a spot cleaner. I don't clean the engine too much. but what I really like is the Firefly poster you have.
Nick G you can’t take the sky from me.
Sprinkle baking soda on the engine.Then spray the vinegar on the engine.

You need Ammonia + TSP (Trisodium Phosphate) = Great Degreaser
What ratio
@@amilrain2050 - Mix 1/2-Cup of TSP per 2 gallons of water.
@@amilrain2050 - Ammonia Mix 1/4-Cup per 2 gallons of water.
@@amilrain2050 - NOTE: Water + Ammonia mix first!
@@amilrain2050 - WARNING: TSP Usage = Wear suitable clothing and eye protection. Keep away from skin and out of gloves.
Don't forget to use the old fashioned elbow grease
Heck yea. This was meant to show you just what the degreaser alone does. If you want it really clean, you need to do more than spray and rinse.
So what do you think? Do you have a favorite degreaser or home made degreaser recipe? How'd this stuff do compared to your experience? Thanks for watching!
Can you send me your number please wtsp
Try using dollar store oven cleaner, works great on riding mower engines. And it's cheap.
Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try!

thank you for your video mate. how effective is it? looks to me its rubbers and plastics are safe...
it’s not as harsh or effective as some of the over the counter stuff. but it’s been getting the job done for me!
@@SWBCrawler thank you mate. cheers! keep safe
I’m assuming this is a fancy way to dilute the dish detergent
she startled me
Firefly!!! :D
You can't take the sky from me. ;). Thanks for watching!
Oven clear works too??
oven cleaner? i suppose it would. is that harsh on the insulation and plastic parts though?
hellow how can make powder of this
I do not know if this is possible. Thanks for watching though!

You didn’t even show after results
what do you mean? I showed before, then after a single spray/rinse, and then after a second spray/rinse. I mentioned that I could probably do it a third time, but I didn't.
Thanks for watching!
