    Best degreaser/de-oiler solution??

    In a nutshell, I'm about to pull my charger pipes off and clean the oil out of them. I was thinking of using brake cleaner and a pressure washer with some rags. What is a good chemical and/or method of getting all the oil out?

    I used to use wd40 to get the 2cycle oil residue off my dirtbike. Simple green works well too.
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    ZEP Purple Cleaner is what I use and it rocks over Simple Green (though Simple Green is good).

    Panther Red Soap which is a highly basic/caustic cleaner used in oilfield apps is the way to go if you can get your hands on some....its an awesome industrial degreaser but will irritate the skin

    TSP (trisodium phosphate) works great on oil and grease, you can get it at any paint of hardware store.

    Basically, there are alot of products that work great. Just don't use oil.
