At first you will spray it on, and think it isn't working. I don't know how else to explain it.

I use Castrol SuperClean. Really powerful stuff to get the heavy grease/oil off the block. I've done this a bunch of times on the X. I put an old towel around the alternator then put a plastic shopping bag over it. That's it. I either use my garden hose or a steam wand at the local DIY car wash. Soaking with degreaser for a while (1hr) will help big time.

Thanks for that, I was planning on using simple green because of the bio-friendly aspect of it I use it on my wheels for brake dust and such.

wouldn't it be more bio-friendly to just leave the oil on your engine and on the skid plates than cleaning it off and having it run down the drain or soak into the ground (back to where it came).:rofl:

I wash mine at a car wash which has a dedicated sewer. Where do you wash yours after using P21?
