The mechanical parts, engine and exterior surfaces of the car are easily soiled with oil, smog, gnats, diesel fuel, grease and stains. What is needed under these circumstances is a suitable degreaser to clean the car engine and effectively remove grease traces and residues from the exteriors, without risking damage to the treated parts.
How to clean the car engine with a degreaser
Let's look together at some useful steps to observe for proper car engine cleaning
- Carry out cleaning in a spacious, open-air location, preferably a car wash that allows engine dirt not to spoil the surrounding areas and to be channeled into the appropriate drainage systems
- Protect the motor's electrical systems by covering them with plastic (a grocery bag is suitable for the purpose). They may be damaged by excessive water use.
- Protect the engine air inlet from water inflow. It is also possible to use plastic here to cover the pipe
- Apply car degreaser to engine parts
- Rinse using water, damp cloths or blowing with compressed air
- Allow the engine to dry until it has lost all 'moisture
- Remove all plastics and guards used

Once we are clear on what type of operations to follow for cleaning the car engine, we can move on to choosing the product best suited to our needs. A degreaser that is quick and convenient to use or a more vigorous degreaser that needs more attention in 'application?
Ready-to-use car degreaser: HP 12
Looking for a quick and easy degreasing product that you can safely use on the engine and exterior surfaces of your car or vehicle?
HP 12 is the one for you.
Its formulation is designed to act on mechanical parts of the engine, exterior plastics, aluminum profiles, to clean the exhaust pipe and the car hood.
HP 12 is easy to use because you simply spray it directly onto the areas covered with grease and oil and then wipe with a damp cloth, without necessarily needing to rinse, unless you need to reach the deepest parts of the engine
High detergent degreaser for use at dilutions
If what you need instead is a more vigorous and powerful cleaner capable of removing even the most persistent and encrusted grease we recommend SUPERMAFRASOL.
SUPERMAFRASOL is a degreaser designed for professional use that can remove grease, oil, smog, midges, diesel, dirt and stains. On the car it can be used as a cleaner to wash the car engine, clean the wheels and also remove "traffic film" from the bodywork, always using different dilutions.
Being a product to be diluted manually, its degreasing effect may be greater than Hp 12 depending precisely on the dilution used. We recommend always following the recommended dilutions and applying it using an atomizer or sprayer (there are very convenient 1Lt ones on the market). A good final rinse step is essential.
SUPERMAFRASOL can also be used in various professional areas such as workshops, industries, transportation, construction sites. It is perfect for cleaning industrial floors.
All you have to do is try the degreaser for cleaning the car engine and its exterior surfaces best suited to your needs. Both products are for sale on our online auto-spa store .
