another good product is simple green. it is biodegradable but caution, it seems to eat away at your boots. we use this stuff for every thing.
it's not cheap, but is the ducks nuts. $850 for a 44 gallon drum. (we use a lot of it). we got it from blackwoods, don't know of anyone else that sells it.

I used that stuff when I was in the US. I wasn't impressed with it.
It's also corrosive to many things.
I found normal dishwashing detergent worked far better than simple green and was also biodegradable.

Went to 3 different stores before finding a store that stocks Kenco Shift-it...
And Holeyyyy shiete does it do an awesome job on grime that's been in one spot for years...
Sprayed it straight on, left it for 10 mins, gave it a bit of elbow grease and sprayed it off.
The mrs just drove off with my car which has the camera cable in it, but I'll post up pics shortly!
Another one for Kenco shift-it!

There's a cheap 3-in-1 one cleaner I found selling at Go-Lo, i'ts that 5 star brand or something.
Probably the same stuff, I used in on my rocker covers etc during my recent overhaul along with a brush and it worked great. The Quad Cam V8 letters are bright white again lol...
Anyways, it's only $2 a can. Problems are it smells potent (like old school ammonia or something) and didn't seem to last that long before empty. Comes out as a white foam. But for $2, bargain
I bought one in the shop yesty to try, made by the WD40 people, will let you's know how it works. It was about $4 a can, really heavy too.

Re this Kenco stuff...
What's it like on engine plastics and the lawn?
Posted: Tue Mar 17, 2009 4:32 pm
by lolergram
plastics, no effect.
Lawn, not sure.

fine on the lawn, its 100% biodegradable apparently. the only dead patches in my lawn are where i spilt the oil and didnt get the kenco onto it for a few days

Guts is in no way asociated with Kenco, any of it's sub divisions or affiliated entities, he is however a share holder in Aoutbarn
