Default OT: Autoglym engine cleaner - where to buy??

I wanted to try my hand at detailing my 993 engine and decided to give Autoglym engine cleaner a try. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find it anywhere. I tried all of the usual online detailing supply places but they either don't sell it or are out of stock. Does anyone know where it is currently available in the U.S. for purchase? And apologies for the cross-post - I posted this question on the Concourse forum a couple of days ago but haven't received any responses.

Don't know anyone in the US that sells it. However, there are a ton of other great cleaner out there. I use "Amazing Roll Off" this cleans all the plastic & rubber, but does not degrease. For degrease, I've had good luck with "Oil eater" from Costco, & "Oil & Grease cleaner" from Griot's.

I ordered some bumper care from the web that was made by Autoglym. I think it was through TPCglobal.com but I'm not sure they carry the engine cleaner.


EDIT: Is this it?

Yup, that's it. And at a good price too, thanks!

Very nice. I'll have to do some searches and find out a safe way to do that safely. I assume you don't just hose it down with the power washer.

P21S Auto Wash is a citrus cleaner that works just as well.

Just use the house hose, a few brushes, & a few towels. If it's not really greasy it only takes about 45min to totally clean.
