Is there anything that I could use to make the engine "bright" again on my 250EX? I read somewhere in the forums that one guy said you could use Easy-Off oven cleaner to clean an engine and makes it look like new again. Any thoughts on that?
i buy Purple power now too because its cheaper, and I can buy it at Dollar general, lol.I used to use simple green a long time ago. I honestly don't remember what made me switch to Purple Power. I think it was because it came in a 2.5 gallon container....lol I use Purple Power for everything. I remember Simple Green worked very well on my parents Buick with Wire wheel hubcapsI've heard a few guys mention Simple Green and Gunk engine bright, too. Not sure if they work, though...
You have to be REALLY carefull with this stuff... I spray the areas where there are not seals or bearings. And the areas around the seals and bearings, I wipe with the acid. This stuff will eat rubber for a snack !
Cav, I don't know if they are coated from the factory or not. I have cleaned engines using an aluminum brite and they seemed to get very dirty real fast. The acid opened the pores on cast aluminum causing it to hold dirt. I think next time I'll try the clear coat spray that they sell for aluminum wheels.
I used Eagle One mag cleaner. Its the kind with two acids in it. The other eagle one stuff wont work.
