    Is that the degreaser or the all purpose cleaner?

    I got the Large USC at HF .... does do heat.

    Yep, use regular SG in a 50/50 dilution with water. It will discolor aluminum a little bit.

    Note: The SG Pro HD will take the shine off of plastics.

    The regular green stuff. I believe its a phosphoric type cleaner. I have some anhydrous citric acid that works well on brass, dawn dish soap is a great surfactant for US Cleaners. Lowers the srface tension of the water so the vibrations work better..... (quick and dirty there huh)

    Scott, we can through that in the ultrasonic machine if all else fails. 50/50 acetone and atf is also a wonderful lubricant. Id heat the lands and spray it on.

    ATF / Acetone mix is said to be the best, with Kroil second. Can't vouch personally for the mix, but Kroil is quite good, as is Mouse Milk. I have used both, but not in a way that I can compare the two.

    As I said though, I have heard ATF / Acetone beats them all, not tried it. Google it.

    Atf and acetone is amazing, I gave my can of Kroil to a friend. If it doesn't work try molasses and water .

    I guess I'm spoiled, I can pretty much get all the kroil I want through work..I work in the aviation industry so all chemicals have a experation date on them , once expired they can't be on the floor anymore and get turned into hazmat for disposal and I am friends with the hazmat lead. Plus there are always partial cans of it in the chemical cabinets that end up going home with people
