Default kroil vs pb blaster

Ok for those that care how the two compare I used both this weekend. My observation:

Not much difference between the two as to how they work. Smell and feel is different, kroil feels a little runnier PB feels a little more oily and seems to foam a little, not sure if that is good or bad. PB smells a like kerosene or diesel. Kroil has a smell of its own, cant really describe it.

I helped a friend with his exhaust this weekend and they both did their job. Initially I dont see an advantage for either.

I have never had a problem with anything using kroil but I have never heard of people saying pb blaster didnt do its job either.

I dont know what the price difference is since I have never actually purchased kroil but I will probably stick with that since I have used it for so long with good results. PB blaster is easier to get though so I may change my mind.

Default thanks mike, kroil is 12$ a can vs PB which is less than 5$

if they both work close to equally i will stick to pb blaster.

Default i bet the foaming of PB blaster helps it a little.

and like BSK said, PB is much cheaper.
we sell it to our customers here when we do jobs for $13.27 a can lol.
we make good money on chemicals :-)
