    I got under my GTP yesterday and went through 1 can of engine degreaser in a matter of minutes leaving alot behind. What can I use/buy to get rid of all the gunk under there. There was ALOT of grease build up, never seen so much in my life.

    I'm talking gunk, like oil deposits from the past that has collected dirt. Like on the front suspension, the power steering was leaking at one point causing lots of gunk buildup

    Ah.

    Gallon of degreaser might go further for your dollar.

    But ultimately comes down to elbow grease.

    Simple Green is a good degreaser. It's also all natural and safe on paint.

    Second the Simple Green, never used it on cars per-say but the stuff does work for a lot of things all while being eco-friendly.
