How to make the engine look new?

(1/5) > >>

SweetTea:
What's the best way to clean all the crud off the K5's engine?  I use Simple Green usually to wash my machines, and it keeps them clean.  However, since I just purchased this used K5, it has a bit more baked on crud then what I would let my machines get on them.  So, Purple Power and a tooth brush?  Or what about Engine Brite?  Would it be to strong on aluminum parts all over?

I searched on this subject and found mixed reviews, seems like most like purple power, but haven't heard anything on Engine Brite.  I want to do the best I can to make that machine look like it came off the showroom floor.

Thanks!

baking soda blast

SweetTea:
What kind of machine would I need for that, any thing from harbor freight that I could hook up to my air compressor?

Thanks.

Amazing! Enviro friendly, dissolves/cleans up with water and cheap.
Thanks for that link!
