How To Degrease Engines With Genesis 950

How To Degrease Engines

Keeping a clean engine helps promote longer life for your car. Oil and grease build up can clog areas under the hood and if not properly maintained, make it more challenging to do simple tasks. In addition to eliminating buildup in the engine, a thorough engine cleaning can also deter metal based portions of the engine from rusting. 

Genesis 950 is a perfect cleaner when it comes to degreasing engines. The steps are simple and the process is easy because of the way Genesis 950 works. It is a surfactant based cleaner that works with water. When mixed with water, Genesis 950 will break apart the bonds of grease, oil, tar and other staining agents. When these stains are broken down, they can then be rinsed and lifted from the surface they have adhered to. This is idea when cleaning an engine. It makes the process easy, and hands free as the Genesis 950 does the work so you don't have to.

In our example, this is a 1999 Chevy Suburban engine. The engine had not been cleaned in the past. You can see heavy buildup on the casing and hoses.

When degreasing an engine, mix Genesis 950 and water in a spray bottle. The general recommended ratio is 1 part Genesis 950 to 7 parts water. You can however mix as high as a 50/50 ratio. However you do not want to go any higher than that as the water activates the Genesis 950. 

Spray the mixture on the engine. Be sure to target the most heavily dirtied areas. Allow the mixture of Genesis 950 and water to sit for about 5 minutes. As it sits, it will begin breaking down the grease, oil and other debris. 

After the mixture has sat for a short period of time, rinse the engine using a hose or powerwash type nozzle. In this example, a rinse wand at a self service car wash was used. 

Your engine will now be clean. If there are areas where there is still buildup, reapply the mixture of Genesis 950 and water. Allow the mixture to sit for a longer time period. If needed, the ratio of Genesis 950 in the mixture can be increased. Detailing can always be done on specific areas using a rag to help break down excess.

Here is the engine before and after:

DIY Auto Detailing And Car Interior Cleaning

DIY Car Detailing With Genesis 950

When it comes to DIY car detailing, Genesis 950 is the perfect cleaner for car care. Genesis 950 can clean leather and cloth upholstery, carpet, plastic, chrome and more. Genesis 950 is a surfactant based cleaner that works with water to break the bonds of stains and lift them from the surface they have adhered to. It does so without harming, discoloring or damaging the surface. 

Being a surfactant cleaner, Genesis 950 is to be used with water. The water will activate the solution so that it breaks down the structural bonds of stains. When this happens, the stain can be rinsed away. The general mixing ration for Genesis 950 is 1 part 950 to 7 parts water. However this concentration can be increased as high as a 50/50 mix if the stains prove to be difficult.

STEP BY STEP DIRECTION FOR CLEANING CAR INTERIORS

CAR CARPETING

  

Vacuum all loose debris from the carpet.

Once loose debris has been removed the carpet can be cleaned.

 

The Bissell Spotbot has a removable compartment which can be filled with water and cleaning solution. For cleaning the car interior, the container was filled at a 50/50 ratio of Genesis 950 and water. The machine also allows the mixture to be heated. We used the heater feature in our cleaning. When ready to clean, select Manual. This allows the machine to release water through the hose rather then through the bottom of the machine.

Holding the button under the handle, release the mixture of Genesis 950 and water into the carpet.

In heavily stained areas, take advantage of the bristles on the attachment head and scrub to ensure the area becomes saturated so the Genesis 950 can break down stains deep within the carpet. Once you have shampooed the carpet, let it sit while you clean the rest of the interior. Allowing the solution to sit will give it time to break down dirt and stains within the carpet fibers.





After you have cleaned the seats, dashboard and any other areas needing cleaning, return to the carpets. Now, using ONLY clean water in the machine, rinse the areas you have cleaned. This will allow all the dirt and stains that the Genesis 950 has broken down to be flushed clean from the area. 

Allow the carpeted areas to dry.

CAR UPHOLSTERY

Vacuum any loose debris from the upholstery.

Using the same process that was used to clean the carpeting, begin to clean the upholstery. Slowly go over the upholstery. Allow the solution to saturate heavily stained areas thoroughly. After you have gone over the entire area, allow the solution to sit. While the solution sits, it will break down any dirt, dust, spilled drinks or food on the upholstery. After it has been give time to sit, fill the tank with clean water and rinse. 

Once the upholstery has been rinsed clean, let it dry.

 DASHBOARDS & CONSOLES

 


Genesis 950 can also be used on the dashboard. To clean the dashboard or other non-fabric based areas, fill an empty spray bottle with Genesis 950 mixed with water. All 1 Gallon orders placed direct at genesis950.com come with a free spray bottle.
