I did my gf family's Accord yesterday with whatever I had left over in the spray can. It worked pretty well on warm engine too. I'll have to do it again though cause I didn't have enough time.

I used GUNK Foam Engine Cleaner. When I did my gf's Accord, I was lazy and didn't cover anything and still went to town with the spray and water. No problems at all. In the future, I prob won't cover anything. Orig when I did mine, the engine was cold, but I ran it for like 3mins to warm it up. The can says use on a cold engine, but we all know that grease comes off easier when warm, so that is what I did. Ok , everyone go out and clean your bays!
