I searched around and found TR1000 produced by Tomar Industries.
Specifically developed, according to Tomar, for cleaning aircraft engines
and greasy bellies.
I bought 2 gallons and price was real low, which they shipped ground.
They recommend dilution with water at 1:1.
Spray it on and leave no more that 3 or 4 minutes and wash all the grease
away.
Works really well but follow makers dilution and soak time.

I have been using "wash all wax all" to clean fingerprints, black acid
rain stains, exhaust stains, etc. for a long time. It seems to work well.
I just got a bottle of the "flight jacket" cleaner but I haven't tried it
out; it is supposed to work very well.
On tough stains I use 100LL.


For degreasing, I use a solution of CarbonX and water, in a spray
bottle. Unlike Simple Green or 409. it is Ph neutral and will not attack
aluminum. My AI put me onto this stuff.

I also sometimes use a little bit of mineral spirits on a paper towel to
wipe away ioly spots.
