Degreaser Recommendation

FYI.... what is sold today as paint thinner and mineral spirits is not the same stuff as what most of us are used to. In fact it says right on the bottle Mineral Spirits Substitute :(. I needed some a while back, there is not a lot of info out there but the MSDS for the new stuff listed all organic chemicals (aka not water based) and comparing to the MSDS for the old stuff it appeared mostly what is not in it is the difference.

Just a warning it may not work the same as what we are all used to. It did work for me (thinning varathane), but I did lots of testing first.

They've ruined everything. Carb cleaner is not carb cleaner, Mapp gas is not mapp gas. Substituting things that don't work nearly as well for things that work exceptionally well is not the environmental victory the politicians pretend it is.
 
Kerosene or wd-40 does wonders, use it to clean up the RMX and use on the f150 and q5 to clean engine bay!
