Default How can I clean coolant off the engine?

I had blown a heater hose while driving and coolant got everywhere, including the freshly painted oil pan. Now I have ugly yellowish-green stains that will not come clean. Do I need to re-paint? Or will it clean up with something else?

Thanks,

I would use 'Simple Green' in hot water. You're gonna hafta use a rag on it though. Hook up your garden hose to a hot water source (hot water tank) and hose it off with low pressure. Should come squeeky clean. :cool:

I tried simple green but without hot water. I'll try again with the hot water and see if it works.

Thanks,
Avery
