I hate to say it...but Simple Green is "banned" for use on the Fighter Jets I work on. I don't think it is because of it's effect on the metal....but more because of EPA rules. We are only allowed to use some weak citrus based biodegradeable stuff.
I do, however, use simple green on all my cars....engine bay, and suspension. Nothing compares!!

You clean your suspension parts with a toothbrush?

You, sir, are a True Corvette Lover.

Yoiks!

Wow! Patience is indeed a virtue! :lol:

I had trouble with it removing paint on the u derside of my hood. I always dilute it now and don't leave it on too long.
