Timco Oil & Grease Remover is a solvent-based degreaser in a 380ml aerosol. It penetrates and lifts heavy oils, grease and tar from metals and hard plastics. Good for workshop maintenance, surface prep and automotive use.
Timco Oil & Grease Remover is a solvent-based oil and grease remover in a 380ml aerosol that cuts through heavy contamination quickly. It penetrates oil, grease and tar deposits on contact, lifts them from the surface, and leaves the area clean without residue. For anyone doing surface prep before bonding, painting or coating, a contaminated surface is a problem that comes back to bite you later — this product deals with it at the start of the job rather than the end.
The formula is designed for hard, non-porous surfaces. It works on most metals and hard plastics, making it suitable for a wide range of tasks across automotive, industrial and general maintenance settings. The aerosol format gives you a directed spray that puts the product exactly where you need it without waste, which matters when you are working in tight engine bays, on machinery components or around workshop equipment.
One of the more useful properties is that Timco Oil & Grease Remover emulsifies immediately with water once the degreasing action is done. That means rinsing is straightforward — there is no oily residue to chase around or second application needed to clear the cleaner itself. The surface comes away clean and ready for whatever comes next, whether that is a primer coat, a sealant, a mechanical fix, or simply putting the part back into service.
Where Timco Oil & Grease Remover Gets Used
In a workshop environment, it is the kind of product that earns its place on the shelf by being genuinely useful across different jobs. Engine components, brake parts, chain drives, gearbox casings and machine beds all accumulate grease and oil over time. Getting that contamination off properly before servicing or repair means the job is done right rather than just done. On the industrial side, it handles tar and heavy deposits that lighter cleaners simply will not shift.
Surface preparation is another key use. Applying adhesive, sealant or paint to a greasy surface is a reliable way to cause a failure later — the bond simply does not hold. Using an oil and grease remover before any bonding or coating operation is standard practice, and the aerosol format makes the prep step fast and consistent. Spray, leave it to penetrate, then wipe or rinse. That is the whole process.
Aerosol Format Advantages
The 380ml aerosol is a practical size for a van shelf or workshop cupboard. It is not so large that it becomes awkward, and not so small that it runs out at an inconvenient moment. The spray nozzle gives good coverage on flat surfaces and directed penetration into recesses, threads and joints where grease tends to collect. For trade use, having a can ready to grab when it is needed is just how it works.
Pro Tip: Always apply Timco Oil & Grease Remover before using adhesive or sealant on metal, even if the surface looks clean to the eye — invisible oil films from handling are enough to compromise a bond.
Timco Oil & Grease Remover is used across automotive workshops, industrial maintenance settings and general trade environments wherever oil, grease or tar contamination needs to be removed from metal or hard plastic surfaces. It is well suited to pre-treatment before painting, priming or bonding, as well as routine servicing tasks where components need to be cleaned before reassembly. Engine bays, brake assemblies, drive chains, machine beds and workshop tooling are all typical applications.

Not suitable for: Not suitable for use on painted surfaces where the finish needs to be preserved, as the solvent formula may affect some coatings. Not recommended for porous materials, fabrics or rubber components.
Shake the can before use. Hold the aerosol approximately 15 to 20cm from the surface and apply an even coat over the contaminated area. Allow the product a moment to penetrate and break down the grease or oil deposit before wiping away with a clean cloth or rinsing with water. For heavy deposits, a second application may be needed. Ensure adequate ventilation when using in enclosed spaces.

Can Timco Oil & Grease Remover be used on plastic components?
Yes, it is suitable for use on most hard plastics. Avoid use on soft or flexible plastics and always test on a small inconspicuous area first if you are unsure about the material.
Does the product leave any residue after use?
No. Timco Oil & Grease Remover emulsifies with water and leaves the surface clean and residue-free once wiped or rinsed. This makes it particularly useful for surface preparation before bonding or painting.
Is this suitable for use before applying adhesive or sealant to metal?
Yes, removing oil and grease contamination before bonding is exactly what this product is designed for. Even surfaces that appear clean can carry invisible oil films from handling, and degreasing before bonding gives the adhesive the best chance of achieving full strength.
Timco Oil & Grease Remover is a solvent-based aerosol degreaser formulated to break down hydrocarbon contamination including heavy oils, workshop grease and tar deposits on contact. The solvent carrier penetrates the deposit and disrupts its adhesion to the substrate, while the emulsifying action allows clean removal with water. Delivered in a 380ml pressurised aerosol with a directional spray nozzle for controlled application.
