I just bought 5 gallons of ZEP purple degreaser from home depot. Got it mainly for cleaning the shop floors since I have a self contained filtration unit to recycle the water in the wash bay.I had an older Sears electric power washer that had the wonderful feature that it would apply detergent at high pressure, rather than the low pressure detergent application that seems more common. It was very effective despite being lower pressure and lower volume than many machines. I prefer it to my 4gpm 3,000psi machine that is admittedly more powerful at washing off dried cracked on gunk, but not as good at getting things "clean".
Any thoughts on a favorite equipment wash/detergent?
All the best,
Peter
I had a radiator that needed to be cleaned. It was clogged solid with dust, grime, and probably a billion bug guts.
I soaked the radiator down using a pump up sprayer with that ZEP. Let it sit for an hour while I took my lunch break.
Came back an hour later and all the caked on gunk just washed out of the fins without any effort.
Just tried it on another one only letting it sit for about 5 minutes. The gunk just flowed out of the fins when I hit it with water.
