For the greese spots. Mix 50% Simple Green and 50% water. Wet the engine down and spray the mixture on the greese spots. Let it sit for a while as the formula breaks down the greese. Rinse engine down and spray Scrubbing Bubbles on the silver parts of your engine. Let sit for a while and then rinse.
