Getting smells out of engine compartment
« on: June 27, 2014, 09:26:53 AM »
Last weekend I had a power steering line bust, or rot and crack, and leaked ATF all over my engine compartment. The stuff smells like doo doo. Does anybody know of anything that will take out this smell and not mess anything up, fiberglass, carpet, hoses, belts, etc?

Thanks in advance

Simple green is an excellent degreaser. Won't fuck up the carpet either, detailers use it to remove stains from headliners.

Citrus cleaner also.  Spray it on and let it sit and work for a minute, then hose off.

Be advised that the purple cleaner will attack aluminum and turn it black.  Skin and eye protection required.  Its a killer degreaser though.
