This shit is coating my engine bay about 1/4" think and I'd love to get it off!

Only off of smaller things than an engine bay. But, heat makes it flow better, and solvents make it go away too.

I bought a 1943 surplus Mosin Nagant that was drowned in cosmoline, the best way to get it off a gun at least was to literally sweat it out by getting it as hot as possible (I put the gun in a black garbage bag an left it out on the blacktop on a sunny day for 6 hours) for the metal I found that windex and a toothbrush was the most effective. Im not sure how effective it would be on an engine but thats the extent of my experience with the stuff

Back when I was working as a welder/fabricator at the shipyard we used toluene. It's nasty though. Use a respirator and thick rubber gloves.

Prima CosmoNot. I haven't used it, but I remember people on northamericanmotoring.com's detailing forum having success with it. And every other Prima product I've used has been great (especially the Hydro spray waxes).

If I were Mr. Dsscats, what I would do is wait for the hottest day of this coming summer to arrive and take the car out for a good workout on a few backroads. After that, it should simply be process of properly washing and detailing the engine bay.
