Technical Degreaser

Does anyone make a liquid degreaser for a parts cleaner that actually works? Napa told me they dont carry one.

 

Easy off oven cleaner does a great job. HRP

 

I use Oil Eater both as a brush on and in my parts washer.

 

X2 on EZ off. Also from the 99c store is a prodict called Awesome and works well. Get the yellow liquid stuff. Super clean or Purple Power are Walmart products that work well also

Brake Clean. Buy the aerosol cans at your local parts store when on sale and keep plenty them on hand. Or buy in gallon containers and refill spray containers that you charge with shop air.

 

99 cent store oven cleaner, washes off with water and no smell like the engine degreasers from the parts stores. Bad fumes so clean outside.

 

Easy off, but don't leave it on aluminum long.
Brake clean, and its good wasp killer too
If you have a sams club membership theres one called PRO FORCE, get the kitchen one if you can, or the BBQ cleaner one. Both kick ass, don't let it get on paint or varnish. Cleaned the kitchen cabinets, took the varnish straight off!
Purple power does well too
Or theres good old unleaded gasoline and a brush, just don't smoke using it

 

I use Super clean in mine 50/50 with water... Works great just don't let aluminum sit to long it turns it black...

 

Be pretty hard to fill a parts washer with ez off oven cleaner wouldn't it?

 

Sadly, this stuff is off the market but sometimes you can find it at a swap meet or garage sale. Mixes with Kerosene or diesel and washes off clean with warm water
Was a Gunk/Solder seal product.

 

Tractor supply has some stuff that works, in 5 gallon cans. And I'm in California, where chemicals aren't hardly available. At least the good shit isn't.

 

One word of caution about the Tractor Supply cleaner in 5 gallon cans, Crown PSC 1000 do not use it in the parts washer the Tractor Supply sells. The cleaner has a petroleum base and the washer needs water based cleaner. Don't ask me how I know.

 

Autozone in 5 gal..Works in my parts washer {HF} just fine..

 

Don't need to ask. Did the same.

 

I use it to clean oil and grease off all the time. It is biodegradable but a bit rough on tender skin. You could buy it at Costco for a reasonable price.
One of the parts guys I used to do business with told me that a lot of the local shops were putting Oil Eater in their hot tanks instead of caustic and mixing it with water on about a 4 to one ratio.
From my experience Purple power is a bit milder on your hands than Oil Eater.

Zep Big Orange degreaser really works good on grease and oil but it will mess up paint and especially fizz can paint. I got a "patina" look I wasn't wanting on a cabinet when I wiped the grease off with it and took a few layers of paint with it.

 

Simple Green has a Motorsports Degreaser that works quite well .

 

Does real good taking off the top layer of skin after a few days too.

 

Advance Auto parts sells parts washer fluid in 5 gallon pails that works really well. Just dump a qt. of trans fluid in when it is fresh and it won't bother your skin.

 

Simple Green is good, Krud Kutter works well too. I like mineral spirits in a parts washer.

 

Just my opinion but for me I use Dawn!!!
I use this product for many things including washing the concrete floors in the garage and it removes just about everything.

Industrial purple from Zep is some good stuff, about 13 bucks for a gallon at Home Depot.

 

There’s a local company here in Muskogee mixes their own.. called Camamdo Clean. Works real good, used it for years. But like some others mentioned here will take the top layer off your hands. Bones

 

I use Varsol, have been for 40 yrs.

 

Been using Zep brand degreaser, equivalent of simple green lately, works well, it will mess up skin so use some gloves.
