I question for you guys. Working on the car yesterday changing the oil sending unit. The PO had put a machinal unit on and I changed it back to electrical.
Anyway with the dark blue color the engine bay is painted I never noticed, but the back of the block is pretty dirty. Looks like dirt, grease, oil etc. Not bad scratched a spot with my fingernail and found paint.
Question what can I put on it to clean it up and not ruin the paint under the grime??
I know I won't get it all until I pull the engine some day. Just want to make it look better.

Hahahaha
I use Spray Nine for that..works well... Just cleaned all the grime off the 440 in my Belevedere...
I can't use a pressure washer right now too cold and the dash and wiring is out so its not running.
I have some simple green. I'll spray a spot let it soak a minute or two and see what it does.
And where do I find that?? I don't think I've seen that one.
I have pressure washed out in the cold,i just bring it inside immediately.but the water source comes from indoors too.
Forgot about spray nine. Its good too.
Oh Chris the parts money bit I mentioned. What you think you need just double that. I'm glad I did because as you know its a cash business.
Not sure but I might of had close to what Mitch and Hoppy had.
Of course you have to remember I'm just a poor man, with a needy wife, just getting by in the world.
