FAQ
What is the Griots Garage 10959?
It is a ready-to-use engine degreaser spray sold in a 22oz bottle and available in a case of 12, designed to dissolve grease, oil, and road film from engine bay components without damaging painted surfaces, rubber, plastic, or aluminum.
Does this engine cleaner need to be diluted?
No. It sprays ready to use directly from the bottle. Apply, allow a short dwell time, agitate with a brush if needed, then rinse thoroughly.
Is it safe to use on a hot engine?
The engine should be warm but not hot. Allow it to cool down enough that surfaces are safe to touch before applying any cleaner, then rinse thoroughly before restarting.
Can it be used on painted engine covers or plastic intake components?
Yes. The formula is designed to be safe on painted surfaces, hard plastics, and rubber hoses when used as directed and rinsed completely after the dwell period.
Will it damage rubber hoses or silicone coolant lines?
The formula is compatible with rubber and silicone hoses when rinsed off promptly after the recommended dwell time. Prolonged contact with any degreaser should be avoided.
Is a case of 12 more economical than buying individual bottles?
Yes. The case format reduces the per-bottle cost and is well suited for detailing businesses, automotive shops, or enthusiasts who perform regular engine bay maintenance.
Does it leave a residue after rinsing?
No. When rinsed thoroughly the formula clears completely and does not leave a film that attracts additional contamination or causes streaking on painted components.
Can this be used on the underside of the vehicle or chassis components?
Yes. The formula works on chassis grease and underbody road film as well as engine bay components. Rinse thoroughly to remove all residue after use.
Instructions
- Allow the engine to cool to a safe handling temperature before applying.
- Cover sensitive electrical connectors and the air intake opening with plastic bags or tape.
