A bit of info on the Gunk product.  I have had decent luck with it but it
is best for concrete cleaning.  Gunk used to say spray on a hot or normal
temp engine.  DO NOT DO THIS!!!  The new cans say spray on a cold engine. 
I caught a Toyota MR2 fire, it seems to be flammable.  The Purple Stuff is
great though.  I think it is all the same just different parts stores.  I
have seen it labeled all sorts of names.
