Spray On / Rinse Off cleaner and degreaser.

[homey53]

Not sure I'm in the right Forum for this, but I'm just looking for suggestions for a spray on / rinse off degreaser. Getting towards the end of mowing season here in Northern New England and looking ahead to preping the mower deck for winter storage. I noticed the other day that I've got grease thrown from the pulleys all over the top of the deck. Then the dust cakes on to the grease, and you got a messy deck. I can clean it with Simple Green in a 50/50 water mix, and a spray bottle with a lot of paper towels. Getting older and lazier, I was hoping someone might have the low down on a spray on / rinse off cleaner for such purpose (s).

I use green cleaner, or purple cleaner with a 2 or three inch cheap brush. Rinse with garden hose or pressure washer. I have no magic steam gennie for hot water washing. I will use mineral sprits for some gunk cleaning.

Get some B52. The best degreaser I've ever used. It worked on my 92 Komatsu track hoe.

I would not want to use water on something, I'm putting away for the winter.

Moisture contributes to oxidation.

I would prefer to use an oil based de-greaser, or kerosene to remove grease, and oil.

I like Purple Power. I don’t have a problem using water on things as long as it’ll dry out.

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I would thoroughly dry it out after cleaning for storage.

My friend gave me a used and abused Gator. Decades of oil ans dirt in the engine bay. I used Gunk foaming engine cleaner. Sprayed it on, waited 5 minutes and hosed it off. This stuff was magic!
