Man, this is unfair! I asked about engine cleaning and got no responses at all!

Anyway, I wanted to add something to this thread. While I was washing the car Sunday (check it out - the wife let me do it twice in a month) I found a BIG blob of tar on the front bumper cover. Actually, I didn't really see it until I had rubbed the sponge across it a couple times, spreading the stuff ALL OVER.

CRAP, I thought, what am I going to do? Any of the stuff that takes pitch or tar off is usually REALLY nasty and leaves Barcelona Red on the rag. I hate that.

I have a can of foaming Simple Green Bike Cleaner, which is exactly the same as regular Simple Green except that it's foamy. I sprayed it on the tar, wiped ONCE with a rag and it was gone. Beautiful. While I was at it I sprayed the wheels and tires and it seemed to leave them cleaner than usual.

I love Simple Green.
