Some degreasers contain sodium hydroxide & alkaline salts - even diluted they will attack paintwork in the engine compartment - ask me how I know after cleaning down my wifes Volvo engine. The metalic red paint wiped off with a cleaning rag after I sprayed on the degreaser, leaving just the undercoat i gray!!!
I was not popular with her.....
