I thought I saw an earlier post where some members said that simple green was good for cleaning engines. Has anyone used greased lightning? I am having a hard time finding someone who carries simple green down here, but i see greased lightning all over the place. Any suggestions?
Thanks!!

I never heard of greased lightening. Simple Greenn works wonders. Know anyone who belongs to BJ's or Sam's Club? They have that stuff by the gallon. That's where I got mine

I haven't heard of Greased Lightning either. If you can't find Simple Green than you should give it a try and tell us how it works. I got my Simple Green from Walmart. It was with all the auto cleaning stuff.

Thanks for the replys guys.
Hey Chris...funny you should mention BJ's or Sam's....thats where I was looking for simple green, and I didn't see any but thats where I saw that Greased Lightning stuff. I think I will try that and let you guys know how it works!

The guys on the weekly car shows always seem to be pushing Greesed Lightning. Especially Sam Mamolla on "Two Guys Garage". He even has his own commercial for it. In the commercial, all his bottles and containers of G.L. are always empty....is that a good sign or a bad thing?

Yea but on a counter note glenn, have you ever seen them work on a dirty undercarriage or engine bay? I haven't. Kinda make me suspicious. Besides if he is promoting it through his own commercials, wouldn't it pay to always make them look empty during the show?

Actually you never see them do ANYTHING on those shows. I bet they have about 4 or 5 certified mechanics who do all the work for them and they just put a little grease on their hands during the commercials ( which by the way seem to be growing in length ). They may not even use certified mechanics, they may grab a bunch of those kids from the technical schools they do commercials for and have them do the work for free ( actually they probably give the commercial time in exchange for the labor and parts ) .

I've never heard of greased lightening, but we have simple green all over the place around here (St Louis Area). I haven't used either one though. However I have found a cleaning product in Dollar general stores called Mean Green, and I think it is real good at cutting oil and grease. reasonable too.
I'm not saying it is the best, but I like it.

I have also used Gunk. It works good, but I think it removes paint, too.

I just saw Greased Lightning at Advance Auto parts the other day. I'm about out of Simple Green so I'm thinking about trying it. But Simple Green has always worked for me, so I don't know if I want switch to something else all of a sudden.
