DIY Engine Degreaser

How To Degrease Engines

A clean engine means a longer life for your car. Oil and grease build up can clog areas under the hood and if not properly maintained. Genesis 950 can be used to remove buildup in the engine. It can also deter rusting. 

Genesis 950 is a perfect cleaner when it comes to degreasing engines. Genesis 950 make degreasing an engine simple because of how it cleans. Being a surfactant based cleaner mans it works with water. to break bonds of grease, oil, tar and other fluids. Once stains are broken down, they can then be rinsed and lifted from the engine. This is idea when cleaning an engine. The process is easy, and hands free as Genesis 950 does the work for you. 

This is a 1999 Chevy Suburban engine had not been cleaned in the past. Heavy buildup can be seen throughout the casing and hoses.

The general recommended ratio is 1 part Genesis 950 to 7 parts water. This mix can be increased as high as a 50/50 ratio. Do not go any higher than 50/50 as it is the water that activates Genesis 950. Having more 950 than water will be counterproductive.

Spray the mixture on the engine. Target areas with the most buildup. Be sure to thoroughly saturate heavily stained areas. Allow the mixture of Genesis 950 and water to soak into the grease and oil build up for about 5 minutes. This will give it time to break down grease, oil and other debris. 

Before long, you should see the buildup drip off. Detailers are constantly amazed at how easily all the buildup just slides right off the engine. As the buildup begins to break down, rinse the engine using a hose or powerwasher. This will speed up the process of removing what has been broken down. 

Your engine will then be clean. If there are areas where there is still buildup, reapply the mixture of Genesis 950 and water. Allow the mixture to sit for a longer time period. If needed, the ratio of Genesis 950 in the mixture can be increased. Detailing can always be done on specific areas using a rag to help break down excess.

 Cleaning Car Interior Carpet

Vacuum all loose debris from the carpet 

Once loose debris has been removed the carpet can be cleaned

The Bissell Spotbot has a removable compartment which can be filled with water and cleaning solution. For cleaning the car interior, the container was filled at a 50/50 ratio of Genesis 950 and water. The machine also allows the mixture to be heated. We used the heater feature in our cleaning. When ready to clean, select Manual. This allows the machine to release water through the hose rather then through the bottom of the machine. 

Holding the button under the handle, release the mixture of Genesis 950 and water into the carpet

In heavily stained areas, take advantage of the bristles on the attachment head and scrub to ensure the area becomes saturated so the Genesis 950 can break down stains deep within the carpet. Once you have shampooed the carpet, let it sit while you clean the rest of the interior.

After you have cleaned the seats, dashboard and any other areas needing cleaning, return to the carpets. Now, using ONLY clean water in the machine, rinse the areas you have cleaned. This will allow all the dirt and stains that the Genesis 950 has broken down to be flushed clean from the area. 

Once you have finished, your carpet is clean. Now, just allow the area to dry. 

 

The same steps can be taken for cleaning the upholstery. Genesis 950 is safe for cloth or leather.

Genesis 950 can also be used on the dashboard. To clean the dashboard or other non-fabric based areas, use a spray bottle with Genesis 950 mixed with water. 

This bottle contains a mixture of 1/3 Genesis 950 and the remaining 2/3 water. 

Spray the area you are cleaning with the mixture.
