AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Degreaser cuts through petroleum-based grime, tar, adhesive residue, and caked-on oil faster than most shop cleaners you've tried. It's built for the kind of mess that accumulates on engines, heavy equipment, farm machinery, chains, gears, and oil-stained concrete.
Grease and oil don't just sit on surfaces. They bond to them. Over time, petroleum-based residues bake onto metal parts, seep into concrete pores, and form layered deposits that resist ordinary soap and water. Sticky adhesive residue from gaskets, stickers, and tape compounds the problem. You need a solvent that breaks those bonds at the molecular level, not just pushes the grime around.
DISSOLVES OIL, TAR, AND GRIME ON CONTACT
AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Degreaser uses powerful solvents that attack petroleum-based contamination at the molecular level, breaking the bond between grime and the surface underneath. Spray it on, let it penetrate for one to two minutes, and wipe or rinse clean. It handles oil-stained concrete, greasy engine exteriors, farm equipment buildup, and powersports machines with equal effectiveness.
REMOVES STUBBORN ADHESIVE RESIDUE
Old gasket material, label adhesive, tape residue, and sticky coatings that resist scraping come off cleanly with this degreaser. The active citrus formula softens and lifts adhesive compounds so you can wipe or scrape them away without damaging the underlying surface. Multiple applications may be needed for heavy buildup, but each pass visibly reduces what's left behind.
FAST-ACTING CITRUS FORMULA
This isn't a soak-and-wait product. The citrus-based solvent blend goes to work immediately on contact, requiring only one to two minutes of dwell time before you wipe or flush the surface clean. It leaves a clean citrus scent instead of the harsh chemical smell typical of petroleum-based degreasers, making it more tolerable for use in enclosed shops and garages.
LOW-VOC AND NON-FOAMING
The low-VOC formula reduces volatile organic compound emissions compared to traditional heavy-duty solvent cleaners. The non-foaming formulation means you can rinse surfaces clean with water without fighting through suds, which is particularly useful when degreasing engines, gears, and chain assemblies where foam would obscure your work and slow the process.
WIDE APPLICATION RANGE
AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Degreaser works on metal surfaces, oil-stained concrete, adhesive-coated surfaces, heavy-duty equipment, gears and chains, powersports equipment, and farm equipment. Test on a small area before using on rubber, plastic, paint, or sensitive surfaces. Do not let it soak on painted surfaces, and do not apply while equipment is running.
Directions for Use
Spray onto the dirty surface. Allow the product to penetrate grime for one to two minutes. Wipe off overspray, then wipe with a clean rag or spray with water to flush contaminants. Repeat as necessary.
Availability
AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Degreaser is available in 15-ounce spray cans, sold individually or by the case. Not available for sale in Canada.
What surfaces and equipment can I use AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Degreaser on?
AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Degreaser (ADGSC) is designed for a wide range of applications including metal surfaces, oil-stained concrete, adhesive-coated surfaces, heavy-duty equipment, gears and chains, powersports equipment, and farm equipment. It covers vehicles and equipment across auto/light truck, motorcycle, ATV, UTV, snowmobile, marine outboard, PWC, heavy-duty on-road, heavy-duty off-road, and agriculture categories.
How does AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Degreaser work to remove oil, tar, and grime?
AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Degreaser uses powerful solvents that attack petroleum-based grime on a molecular level, loosening its hold on metal, concrete, and other surfaces. Its active citrus formula dissolves oil, tar, and grime while also removing sticky adhesive residue. The fast-acting formulation makes cleaning easy, and verified buyers report it cleans better than competing products they have used.
Is AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Degreaser a low-VOC formula and what does that mean?
Yes, AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Degreaser is formulated as a low-VOC (volatile organic compound) product. This means it releases fewer harmful chemical vapors into the air compared to traditional high-VOC degreasers, making it a more environmentally considerate option. It is also a non-foaming formula, which helps with cleaner rinsing and easier cleanup on surfaces like concrete and metal.
How does AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Degreaser compare to other solvent-based degreasers for adhesive removal?
Verified buyers report that AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Degreaser works better than expected on removing adhesive residue compared to other solvents. Its active citrus (orange) scent is noted as being much more pleasant than the harsh chemical smell of competing solvent-based degreasers. While heavy adhesive buildup may require multiple applications and some soak time, reviewers consistently rate it 4.8 out of 5 stars based on 15 reviews and praise its superior cleaning performance.
How do you use AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Degreaser for best results?
For best results, spray AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Degreaser directly onto the surface, let it soak for a few minutes to allow the citrus-based solvents to break down the grime, then scrub and rinse. For heavy adhesive or stubborn petroleum-based buildup, multiple applications may be needed. Verified buyers recommend wearing gloves during use, as the degreaser can de-fat skin and leave hands dry. The product comes in a 15 oz. spray can for easy application.
Is AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Degreaser safe to use on concrete and metal surfaces?
Yes, AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Degreaser is specifically designed for use on metal surfaces and oil-stained concrete, among other applications. Its non-foaming formula leaves no residue after rinsing, as confirmed by verified buyers who report clean results with no leftover film. The citrus-based solvents are formulated to loosen petroleum-based grime from these surfaces without the issues associated with traditional harsh chemical degreasers.
