What a “degreaser” means
A degreaser is a cleaner built to cut through grease, oil film, and baked-on brake dust in the dirtiest areas of a vehicle, the places a regular car soap cannot touch. Because this one is a highly concentrated formula, you control how strong it is: dilute it with water for door jambs and lighter wheel grime, or spray it straight onto a heavy, greasy engine bay. That ensures one bottle covers several jobs (engines, wheels, wheel wells, and jambs) instead of buying a separate product for each. It is caustic, so the paint-safety rule is to rinse the surface first, avoid overspray onto drypanels, and rinse the area clean prior to the product drying on the surface.
Who this is for
- Mobile detailers who want one concentrate that handles engine bays, wheels, and jambs on the road
- Shop owners buying a versatile degreaser they can dilute to the strength each job needs
- Fleet and dealership recon crews knocking down heavy brake dust and greasy undercarriage grime fast
- Enthusiasts cleaning up an engine compartment, wheel wells, or a fiberglass boat body at home

- Built for the spots you can't reach. Brake dust, grime, and caked-on filth in engine compartments and behind rims come off without gymnastics.
- Concentrated enough to stretch. A little goes a long way: dilute with water to suit the job, or spray it straight onto the surface.
- Not just an automotive degreaser. Customers run it on concrete shop floors and boat compartments as often as on wheels and engines.
- Sits in the middle of our cleaning-power ladder. It is a step gentler than Brake Up Wheel Brightener and a step stronger than Special Force Plus, so you can match aggressiveness to the job.
-
- Start with a rinse. Knock loose dirt off the surface first, then spray the cleaner directly where you need it, keeping overspray off the surrounding panels.
- Work the tight spots with the right brush. The Cone Wheel Brush reaches behind the rim barrel and between spokes where a mitt can't go.
- Go soft-bristle on rims and engine bays. For lug nuts of any size, the Lug Nut Brush is the fit.
- Rinse everything off once the cleaner has done its work, and before the product dries on the surface.

Use care around paint, since this is a caustic, concentrated cleaner made for engine and wheel grime rather than painted panels. Rinse the surface first, spray only the target area, and avoid overspray onto adjacent panels. Rinse the area clean when you finish so no product is left to dry on the finish.

The best car degreaser is a concentrated citrus cleaner you can dilute to match the job, from light cleaning on door jambs to a greasy engine bay.
-
Yes for engine compartments, wheels, wheel wells, and door jambs, which are the areas this cleaner is built for. It is a caustic degreaser, so keep it off fabric seats and carpet. For interior upholstery and carpet, use the Automotive Carpet Cleaner & Upholstery Shampoo instead.
