Default Every car owner needs SIMPLE GREEN!

If you've seen my list of 104 cars that I've owned then you quickly realize that I am a "Car Nut"......therefore I spend my share of time in the garage.

Everyone needs a couple of bottles of SIMPLE GREEN "Automotive Cleaner/Degreaser"

For example, last night I did some work on one of my cars and got a fairly new pair of good fitting levi's all greasy. (If my wife had been home she would have yeld at me-again!) But after I cleaned the floor w/ Simple Green, washed my hands w/Simple Green, cleaned my tools w/ Simple Green and then sprayed it all over my levi's before tossing them in the wash. (let them sit with it on them for about 10 minutes before putting them in the washing machine).

Me, my car, my garage floor, my tools and my pants all look brand new again. HA

You just can't beat this stuff. I even carry a bottle in the car just in case.

I even use it in the house, the kitchen, the bathroom and anywhere on anything that needs cleaning, especially if it is greasy.

Happy cleaning!

I use to use it but it always left a film behind... has the formula changed over the last 10 years?

I respectfully suggest that you be careful with Simple Green. It is not MilSpec approved as it is corrosive, especially around aluminum. It is not allowed anywhere near an aircraft or helicopter for that reason. It will eventually dull the finish on the clearcoated wheels on the Crossfire as will most of the powerful cleaners, such as 409, Simple Green, and others.

I find that, for me, Greased Lightening works best. Just my prefference.

I find that, for me, Greased Lightening works best for removing grease and tar like substances from any surface. Just my prefference.

Thanks I'll give it a try as well but so far I have been using Simple Green and love it. Maybe Greased Lightening will work too.

Thanks

9:30 here. We change our clocks. But I've been in my office since 5:30 and up since 4:00. I drive 43 miles from Virginia Beach to my office @ Ft. Eustis and at that time of the morning no traffic. It's tourist season and the traffic can get really bad. I leave my office, usually, around 2:30 so I miss the afternoon traffic too.

Well my friend try driving your car for a week on a long trip and see how much "greasy soot" has accumulated on the rear panel of your dream machine. Then try to get that off using "just water"!

I use lots of water too but sometimes it's simply not enough.
