Thankxxxx............... Dominic, I went to a water based solution about 6 months ago, when my solvent based Safety clean parts washer finally gave out. The key is heat. Went with "Ozzy Juice" SW-3 truck grade degreasing solvent ( NAPA store ). Since my cleaning tank isn't heated and heated tanks are upwords of 1K, I went to Walmart and bought a $15 hot plate. Fabed up a mount so that the hot plate sits up against the bottom of my solvent tank. Takes about 15 minutes for my tank ( 5 gallons ) to get up to about 130 degrees. At that temp, cuts grease every bit as good as solvent based stuff. On the down side, once you clean a metal part, it will rust pretty quick if you don't WD-40 it right after it dries. Stuff will even start to strip paint if you leave the part in long enough. Fastest 300

It was called Agitene, and Super Agitene solvent. It had higher flash points, and at one time had lanolin in it even, to help your hands, as well as a anti flash rust agent. Check your local Grainger to see. Also ZEP products. Usually they have a lot of commercial fluids. They have always had a good product, and usually have distribution in larger cities. Neither of these two are cheap, but usually real good stuff. Good luck.. RIP Monte Smith Your work is a reflection of yourself, autograph it with quality.

Anywhere in the Southern California Air Quality Managment District, anything but an approved solvent ( Q-sol, which is supplied by Safteykleen, or a waterbased cleaner) is illegal. I was fined 1800.00 a few years ago for still using a mineral spirits based solvent. Safteykleen will not even sell any mineral based solvent in this area.

Your hands would turn white cause it would strip the oils. We didn't use no stinking gloves like we do today and we needed them more back then. Heck, I think Italian salad dressing would work better to clean parts than the New "improved safe" diluted mineral spirits you can buy now They are engineering common sense out of society and trying to save us from ourselves sorry rant over Sworn Member Central Valley MoPar Drag Pack.
