Engine degreaser is a cleaning agent that can quickly penetrate into dirt and emulsify both internal and external grime, with the entire process of separating dirt from objects taking only 2 to 5 minutes. Therefore, car washes may use engine degreaser for cleaning. Below is additional information about engine degreaser: 1. Disadvantages: Using engine degreaser can damage the car's paint because it has corrosive properties. 2. Whether it causes pollution: After dissolving waste oil and dirt into water, the discharged wastewater can dissolve naturally in the environment and does not cause pollution, making it the best alternative to gasoline and diesel cleaners. By adding engine degreaser to a spray bottle and directly applying it to the cleaning area, then rinsing with water after one minute, stubborn oil stains and other dirt can be effectively removed. Engine degreaser is non-corrosive to metals and can be used for cleaning various metals, widely applied in removing dirt and residues from the surfaces of cars, motorcycles, and their diesel engines. It can replace cleaning with organic solvents like gasoline, kerosene, and ethanol, preventing the hazards of flammability and toxicity associated with these solvents.
