Keep heavy grime, oil, and road film under control with professional-grade car engine degreasers and exterior degreaser sprays from The House of Rags. Whether you are breaking down greasy buildup in an engine bay, removing bug guts and traffic film from bumpers, or safely cleaning oily residue from paint before protection, our curated collection covers everything from targeted exterior degreasers to versatile APCs.
Why Use a Dedicated Car Degreaser?
A purpose-built car engine degreaser or oil degreaser for car surfaces is formulated to attack petroleum-based grime, road tar, and baked-on contamination without the harshness of generic household chemicals. Engine degreaser spray products are designed to cling to vertical surfaces, penetrate into tight areas, and rinse clean, helping you safely restore engine bays, wheel wells, and underbodies. For painted panels, choosing the right degreaser for car paint helps strip traffic film, old dressings, and residues without dulling or etching the finish.
Types of Degreaser Sprays for Cars
Detail Co. B.D.E V2 (Bugs, Dirt, Exterior Degreaser) is a powerful citrus-based degreaser spray for car exteriors that can be used stronger for tire prep and tar removal or diluted for regular maintenance on coated vehicles. Heavy-duty concentrates like Chem-X Heavy Duty and Cleantle Industrial Degreaser are ideal when you need maximum cleaning power for trucks, equipment, or seriously neglected engine compartments. Interior‑safe options such as Geist. Degreaser D1 focus on modern materials, letting you degrease high-contact areas like steering wheels and trim without harming leather or vinyl.
Concentrate or Ready to Use?
Many professional degreasers in this collection are sold as concentrates, meaning a single bottle yields multiple spray bottles at working strength. This makes them significantly more cost-effective than ready-to-use alternatives for regular users, shops, or anyone tackling large or frequent jobs. Check each product page for recommended dilution ratios, which typically range from 1:1 for heavy-duty engine cleaning to 10:1 or beyond for light maintenance work on coated paint.
Prep and Finish for Better Results
Degreasing is also a key step before polishing, coating, or sealing. Products like INNOVACAR 100% DEGREASING and D2 CHECK are engineered to remove oily residue, wax fillers, and polishing oils from paint, ensuring that ceramic coatings, sealants, or waxes bond properly. All‑purpose cleaners and APC degreasers such as Technicians Choice formulas and Phoenix E.O.D The Kraken bridge the gap between interior and exterior use, allowing you to tackle door jambs, wheel wells, and other high‑soil areas with one product while still keeping surfaces safe. Together, these car degreasers and engine cleaners give you a complete toolkit to deep-clean, prep, and protect every part of your vehicle.
