I bought a Karcher brand pressur washer from Lowe's. It was primarily for cleaning the underside of my Dart in prep for the front end rebuild. It has worked great for cleaning cars, garage floors and driveways.

Mine is an older version of the K 2.16.

You might want to check out the local rental place for a hot water pressure washer. The hot water makes a world of difference when cleaning grease and gunk ... should rent for a bout 10- 20 % more for a day but believe me it will make a huge difference ...

I bought a Karcher unit also and wonder why I didn't sooner. It's a 2400 PSI with a Honda 6.5 engine and was delivered for under $300 off E-Bay. Find a good presoak degreaser and it will do the trick nicely. :cheers:

I have a cold water unit, works OK in conjuction with Gunk degreaser and scraping off the major grease with a putty knife first. As the guys said, I'm sure hot water would make a world of difference!

The easiest way is to buy a few cans of Easy-Off oven cleaner. Spray it on and let it sit for about ten minutes, then hose it off. Depending on how thick the oil / grease is, it may take a couple of applications.
