Just after some views on the best Engine cleaner and especialy on painted rocker and inlet..

Always on the lookout for new products but not found anything decent yet,as ive just painted various parts of the engine i dont wanna use anything to potent, whats everyone use..

WD40 is a good degreaser but it leaves a yellow film everywhere which sux..prolly use house hold cleaner for now and do it regulary but if someones got any ideas?
