I used to use Fantastic until they changed the ingredients, and maybe

the smell, and it makes me sneeze. Now I use 409. I never thought of

it as especially good for grease. It's great for getting dirt out of the

crinkle finish of many old tvs and other things



Dawn dishwashing detergent is very good for grease, like their

commercials say. Though it also stings every cut and scratch I have so

I don't use it. Maybe I would for specailly greasy things. And more

importantly, it's meant for food-based grease. I'm not at all sure that

ti's good for motor oiil or even suspension grease.



What about a do-it-yourself car wash with a want that you spray soapy

water. Just avoid getting anything in your electrical parts like the

alternator .



To save me experimenting (and buying) other cleaners, any suggestions?

Probably gasoline would work but I don't have any or a container for it.
