Default Cleaning solvent

Look up Ed's red cleaner on the web. I skip the acetone and don't watch
proportions exactly - 1 ATF. 1 kerosene, 1 mineral spirits.







Ed's Red cleaner:

1 part Dexron II, IIe or III ATF, GM Spec. D-20265 or later.

1 part Kerosene - deodorized, K1

1 part Aliphatic Mineral Spirits, Fed. Spec. TT-T-2981F, CAS #64741-49-9, or
may substitute "Stoddard Solvent", CAS #8052-41-3, or equivalent, (aka
"Varsol")

1 part Acetone, CAS #67-64-1.

(Optional up to 1 lb. of Lanolin, Anhydrous, USP per gallon, OK to
substitute Lanolin, Modified, Topical Lubricant, from the drug store)
