has anyone cleaned there engine bay with the motormaster foam cleaner.
my question is. is it okay to do in your drive way like is it enviromentally friendly and will the foam or greeze or anything rune your driveway.
i found a how to on this but nothing to help me out with my questions.
 
I'm personally not a fan of the spray-on engine cleaners. In general, they'll spot the paint inside your engine bay or on any surrounding body panels.

I just use Simple Green cut with a little water. It takes care of the grease and dirt. I've got a narrow, plastic bristled brush that I use to clean in tight spaces. For easy to reach places, I use a small sponge.

After I clean a section, I use a hose with a low-pressure pattern to wash off the gunk. At the end, I do a bit of drying with a towel, spray vinyl dressing (ex. Armor All) on everything but the belts and wipe down with a damp sponge. Close the hood and you're finished.
 
^Nah - the fonzinator has the right idea...

Keep it clean.

Less likely to saturate a connector and have electrical/ignition problems.
 
I used this orange crap I got a autozone, all natural environmentally safe, and it worked ok, but the scent attracted TONS of bees!
