Verylube Engine Compartment Cleaner is a spray that removes oil, grime and dust from the outside of the engine and other mechanical parts. You spray it on, let it run off with the dirt, and rinse. Verylube is XADO’s car care brand.

Lift the bonnet of most cars and you will find the one part nobody ever cleans. The paint outside may shine, but the engine sits under a coat of oily black grime, baked on by heat and thickened by years of road dust.

That grime is more than an eyesore. It hides things. A fresh oil leak looks exactly like the old stain around it, so a small problem goes unnoticed until it becomes a big one. It holds in heat. It makes every job under the bonnet a filthy one. And nothing puts off a buyer faster than a dirty engine, because it suggests the car has not been looked after.

This cleaner makes short work of it. It acts instantly on oil, lacquer, tar and other dirt, loosening it so it trickles off the engine and can be washed away with water. The parts come up looking like new.

It is also gentle. The formula is pH-neutral and contains no acids or alkalis, so it is safe for paint, glass, plastic, rubber and chrome. You can use it with confidence around hoses, covers and wiring looms.

XADO East Africa imports Verylube directly from the manufacturer.

A clean engine is easier to maintain, easier to sell and far nicer to open the bonnet on.

How to use

Work on a cool engine with the ignition switched off. Before you start, cover sensitive electrical parts, such as the alternator, the fuse box and any exposed connectors, with plastic bags.

Shake the can. Spray the cleaner onto the engine or the part you want to clean. Let it trickle down, carrying the dirt with it, then wash it away with water. Use a gentle flow, not a high-pressure jet. Repeat on heavily soiled areas.

Remove the covers and let the engine dry before starting it.

Use it in a well-ventilated place. Keep the can away from heat and flames, as it is pressurised, and out of the reach of children.
