We looked at several aspects when choosing the best sprays, from objective measures such as physical dimensions and design to subjective considerations of look and feel. Though we have a variety of recommendations across various styles, all of our picks satisfy criteria that suit most people, thereby reducing the confusion of choice.
While you may find a spray for any aesthetic preference, we looked for sprays that had simple, elegant designs - ones that would appeal to most people - rather than models that adhered to specific aesthetic choices.

Best part: kraken bond engine oil cleaner spray costs comparatively low and it is available to ship in 24 hours. Kraken engine cleaner is a great product for removing burned oil from around the edges of your valve covers or the dirt cooked onto the top of the engine cover. It provides a wonderful view and protects the engine. It is designed to remove deposits that might cause rough idle, stalling, hesitation, pings, rust, dirt, and engine run-on. It's definitely not brake cleaner though and would probably leave a squeak inducing residue if used on brakes.
It's not foamy and has more like the consistency of brake cleaner than an engine cleaner type degreaser. It does have that throat tickling irritation that most degreasers have. It is suitable for automobiles, motorcycles, machines, and all types of engines, such as lawnmowers.
