My friend had some of that superclean stuff while I was visiting California during the summer, that stuff works awesome. We sprayed some on the outside of his house in certain places, it stripped the paint off the metal frame of the sliding glass door lol.

Thumbs up 4x4 crazy

These engines have been dragged through heck and back. There are rubber gaskets on every connection. I like the crazy name GUNK and it's reputation is second to none for cleaning engines. Just let your motor cool and stand with the GUNK on it for 15 minutes then spray off. But, here's why I'm 4x4 crazy: I spray that soap and rinse car wash on my engine bay unless the drive-in car wash has an engine cleaner selection. I am always spraying the underside of my hood and my radiator with the sprayer. These 4x4's are tough, Toyota tough. Keep in mind that I don't get crazy and see if I can penetrate a rubber gasket, electrical connection/component, or crack my block (don't ever spray a hot engine with cold water!). But, when it comes to having a clean engine, anything will work on these trucks, especially Gunk.
