Does anyone know of a 'better' product to use??
I've used Gunk engine cleaner several times before on other cars, and besides
the fact it is pretty hard on painted surfaces, it smells pretty bady, and no
matter how much rinsing I do with water, the engine still stinks for weeks
afterwards, especially when it's warning up.
