IMO for me not worth getting the pricey zymol I'd need gallons of it to do my engine bay
I've tried a steamer and it didn't do shit, the water vapors just danced on top of the cosmoline. acetone on a rag works but it's tedious and you'll probably go insane and high sniffing it all day scrubbing it off
at car meets my engine bay stays hidden no need to embarrass myself with my yellowed ugly cosmocrapped m20Comment

Sorry to bump an old thread, but my Engine bay is filthy. This cosmoline has to go.
Have you guys found anything that can be sprayed on, and then rinsed off? Engine Degreaser?

Natural mineral spirits cut through cosmoline like butter, its what I used to clear the cosmo from my Mosin Nagant, it was well slathered in it.1991 325i - "Scambles" The Daily Driven lightly modded.

Lol... No. You can soak this 25 year old cosmoline for a week in mineral spirits, it won't do shit. Neither will simple green, purple stuff or foaming gunk.Comment

Ah, sarcasm doesn't come across well in text form.
I'm still looking for something to get this junk off!
