Seriously - 3:1 H2O/SG on wheels - it's strong stuff.

After seeing what it did to a dirty turbo soaked in it all night, I wouldn't be suprised

That stuff is STRONG.

Thanks for the tip!

I usually remove it pretty fast but it's good to know its now only about $1 for a full bottle! Lol!

Adam @ AdamsPolishes always used to suggest simple green and now they have their own "all purpose cleaner" which is still a green liquid @ $5 a bottle. :-)

i use it full streanght in my parts de-greaser it softens fingernails after using it a few hours

Kinda gross when your nails are sort of floppy. And no - gloves don't work well. They just end up getting torn and/or dissolved while working so I don't bother.
