Degreaser (Engine Cleaner)
A degreaser is a cleaning product that dissolves oil, grease and road grime from engines, parts and wheels.
What is Degreaser (Engine Cleaner)?
Water-based and solvent-based types exist. A clean engine makes it easier to spot new leaks. Workshops also use it before repairs. Wheel cleaners are a special kind of degreaser designed to remove brake dust safely.
How it works
Surfactants or solvents break down oily films so they can be rinsed or wiped away.
Why it matters for your car
Protect the alternator, intake and electrical connectors from heavy water spray. Collect dirty runoff; oily water should not go into drains.
