As someone else said, a 3000 psi pressure washer with a "zero" degree nozzle will cut any grease. I first spray the grease with engine cleaner and let it soak in for a while (at least an hour, maybe longer). Then I pressure wash and it always comes clean (I have a 3000 psi unit that pumps 4 gpm - 11 hp engine). I usually do not use the "zero" degree nozzle as one of the smaller angle ones usually cleans everything and covers a wider area. It also seems to work better if I hook my water supply up the the laundry sink and supply the pressure washer with warm water (not hot as that will destroy your pressure washer I understand unless it is designed for it). As a side note, I think those "zero" degree nozzles are dangerous; because, if you ran it across your skin it would open you up like a knife. Roger
