magley64 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Do NOT buy this crap...It did NOT dissolve any grease, it just covered the grease in soap bubbles, and not even very good soap.Dawn Dishwashing detergent was more effective than this stuff.For the really thick grease and grime (like the gobs of crap found on the inside of the drive sprocket case on a 9 yr old bike) The most effective thing I found was 87 octane gasoline. A small spray bottle full and a rattle paintcan capfull with a toothbrush are effective application methods. It did dissolve the grease very effectively, but obviously there are precautions you should take when using gasoline as a cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeverEnough Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Yeah I bought that stuff back when I had my Jeep, and then just threw it into the kitchen cause it was crap. For me the best stuff is that engine degreaser in aerosol cans... The foam kind is nice because it just sits on it, whereas the watery kind just kinda runs off of it.

justin0469 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I've used the Gunk engine degreaser and it's awesome! It comes in liquid, gel or foam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 purple power worked amazing when i was cleaning the oily greasy mess out of my aftercooler on my old supercharged truck...brake clean wouldnt work, simple green wouldnt work, purple power just took the stuff off...hell when i sprayed it on, it instantly was taking most off...let it sit for 10mins, respray...3 times and the stuff looked brand new, no scrubbing or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's safe on rubber too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblosser Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Trichloroethylene (tri-chlor, TCE).Guaranteed that your grease goes bye-bye.Non-flammable.Use in an open/vented space - it's an anesthetic.The safety nazis will tell you that if you feed a gallon of it to a mouse, the mouse will get cancer, so it's not as easy to find these days.

Cheech Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 amazing on chainsFTW. Simple Green + a grunge brush, very easy clean. Give it about 5-10 to dry out, then lube immediately afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
