I've found a great cleaner for the engine bay is "oil eater" but just don't get it on glass or use on HOT aluminum. It'll even take oil stains off your drive from 20 years ago without scrubbing and it is nontoxic and biodegradable. I can't get in Saudi or the Philippines but the wife and I check at Costco every trip back to see the kids.

I've been looking for something to clean up some spots on the garage floor, so thanks! I had a pig blanket down for far too long and let some slip through that didn't fully disappear with other degreasers.

I like to use Simple Green as well but when I spray it off I use a pump sprayer (Hudson type) with distilled water to rinse as it won't leave spots.
