Morning!

Looks like the new cleaner will be here today, have to find five gallons of degreaser I guess somewhere local. Maybe TS

What's your elixir of choice?

I heard straight simple green works great. I am a bit biased though on citrus orange, does a great job in the parts cleaner.

I picked up a gallon of the aircraft grade Simple Green... stronger, but supposedly safe on aluminum.

You have to watch on aluminum. Oil eater, certain other cleaners will oxidize the hell out of it. Most of what I clean is aluminum cases.

Then if you do not rinse right away though ugly steel cases will rust fast also. No real in between for me yet. Will play with this first with straight simple green. Carb guys use it alot. Want to stay water based. Others very hard to dispose of around here.

Yeah.. that's why I bought it, for the timing cover and for the transmission case.

Simple Green and EvapoRust

 

[halifaxhops]

I have tried alot. Biggest difference on all of them is having the parts cleaner heated.

Evaporust is awsome, just gets weak fast. CLR basically does the same take a bit longer though.

Morning guys happy hump day.

I keep it in a storage tote as a soak tank... pop the cover back on to make it last. Stuff I have in there now is kinda funky after soaking the exhaust manifolds but they came out really nice
