Dirty underneath

[sinus19]

Being under the truck working on the Diff. I noticed that it is quite dirty. There is old thick grease everywhere.
I used to have acces to a huge heavy duty high pressure HOT Water cleaner. It would remove everything and if you wornt carefull you could probably remove some paint as well. Since i dont have access to it anymore, wat would you guys recomend to remove all of the old greas and junk. Only access i have to know is just the power wash guns at the car wash (Which is cold water.) Any good liquids or chemicals? Any methods?

I bought some purple power from autozone for a car i just bought. It looked like they put motor oil every where else besides the motor. Shit looks brand new now. I I sprayed it on then I use a pressure washer. I did it twice.

A degreaser and simple green works great. Cover up your electric parts with a plastic bag ( alternator, battery, coil packs, etc etc) doesn't need to be perfect. Then spray degreaser on first and let it sit for a few minutes, then pressure wash off (a regular hose pressure nossle will work fine). Repeat this process as necessary. When happy with the results, do the same with simple green. Then use a towel to clean up as much possible and let it air dry. For the electrics, using a towel to wipe them off works fine. Just make sure to spray the degreaser or simple green on to the towel and not the part itself. Do not soak the towel, damp is just fine. Give it some elbow grease, and in a few hours it will look and smell as pretty as a señorita.

Yup. You should be good with that, but don't forget to cover up your electric parts. Only clean those with a damp towel.
