unadvertized secrert abilities

Cleaning a couple of old Offy intakes last weekend, I tried Simple Green and Gunk Engine Brite (regular spray, foamy and Gel). The Simple Green, regular household strength straight out of the spray bottle, cleaned up the really crusty manifolds better/easier than the Gunk products.

Used motor oil cleans your greasy hands better then soap

 

cheese is good for getting grease off your hands.

think about it... it is time for lunch and you scrub your greasy hands with boraxo and a brush, you go inside to make a samich, and end up with a grease stain on your cheese.

I figure grated sharp chedder would be the best.

 

Cheap, lanolin based hand lotion makes a great cutting/tapping fluid. In addition to being cheaper than stuff like Tap Magic, it does fine on steel or aluminum.

 

Oven cleaner will remove the adonizing coating off aluminum trim. I hammered out and smoothed out my trim first. Then I sprayed oven cleaner on it and let it set. I then washed it off and used wet/dry fine grit sandpaper with water to smooth out scuffs. I then found out the silver polish wadding as its called at walmart will polish it up better than any aluminum polish I tried. I did that to my trim and it looks new.
