I must agree with Mark, one of the most rewarding jobs in my many years of
British iron ownership is when I sprayed the entire underside and engine bay
of a car with Gunk. Then jacked it up, crawled under it with a pressure
washer and had at it. Most all of the years of grease and oil was soon
transferred from the chassis to my shirt, pants and shoes. Although a blond
(now gray) my hair was black and full of grease and grime, I had to remove
all clothing in order to be allowed in the house and everything was burned;
but the car sparkled. Great Fun!!
