I-5 and a milling machine.
Driving North on I-5 Monday near Gunners region, passed a green chevy P/U
with a nice older milling machine on a trailer. Looked like a 1950's version. What was striking was the cream colored paint job. Nice paint job, but the wife says it makes it look like an old appliance. LOL. |

My dishpan still has stains from washing the differential cover from my truck. jsw |

It cleaned up a couple fan grilles like new. Got in all the crevices and made them very clean and shiny. --Winston -- On YouTube, all the tools have volume controls. |

I've heard tell of having a second washing machine for cloth
diapers. One friend of mine bought a dish washer for auto parts. But I'm not sure he's ever used it for such. Oven cleaner makes excellent grease cutter. Also good for cleaning dissembled carburetors. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Winston" wrote in message ...

The caution about aluminum or pot metal (typically zinc) is
good. I wonder if a VERY brief application might get the crud but not damage the metal. Minute, or less. The time I found oven cleaner useful was on Tecumseh carburetor. And that was a very brief use. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Bob Engelhardt" wrote in message ... Stormin Mormon wrote: ....

It will cut the crud without dissolving aluminum. Joe Gwinn |

It takes all the grease stains away. I haven't had the testicular volume necessary to put a really *greasy* part in (yet). Ironically the things I've cleaned have had less foreign matter on them than, say a plate that had been used for eggs Benedict. As a result, the inside of the dishwasher remains very clean. It'd be cool to put a second dishwasher in to the back yard to clean little engine blocks, etc. --Winston |
