Every once in awhile someone asks about our favorite aerospace vehicle
cleaners and/or waxes. A few weeks ago I was in Texas at a NASCAR race. One of the trailers out in front was manned by Simple Green reps. I dragged my daughter away from the Earnhardt Jr. trailer long enough to see if they were handing out free samples of cleaner. They were, and even had the requisite pretty young lady doing her best Vanna White routine. Unfortunately, the miniature sample bottles were of the "regular" Simple Green and I was interested in the new aviation grade stuff. Never one to give up easily on the possibility of a free hand out, I weaseled my way to the front of the pack and asked the wanta-be Ms. Vanna if she had any "Aviation grade Simple Green." After she rolled her eyes and looked at me like I was from who knows where, she said, "No and I don't know what you are talking about", and then quickly regained her composure and went to handing out more regular bottles. I shrugged to my daughter and began to turn away like a puppy with his tail between his legs when I saw a case of the "Extreme Simple Green Aircraft and Precision Formula" stacked right behind Vanna with a full sized 32 oz. bottle perched on top out in full display splendor. I pointed and I said that's what I'm looking for. She turned and had a blank look on her face. She didn't even know the stuff existed. Anyway, another rep standing beside us said they didn't have any free samples of the new stuff. But, then he asked if I was an aircraft mechanic. I told him no... I own an airplane. He asked me what kind and I said Piper Cherokee. He handed me the full new bottle and said go ahead and try it. Wow, success! I brought my trophy prize home to try out on my bird and was sorely disappointed. It didn't remove bugs off the leading edge worth a darn. I tried it on a greasy spot and it worked great, though. I tried it under the belly and to make a long story short, I spent the next 15 minutes on my back with a rag, and 8437R's tummy never shined so bright since her last new paint job years ago. It really works great on belly grease and grime and fuel stains. It took me perhaps 1/5th of the bottle to do 37R's belly. I'll buy more when I've used it up because it made the nasty job really go quickly. Aircraft Spruce has it for $10. It meets Boeing spec D6-1748P. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalo...s/09-00809.php -- Joe Schneider 8437R (Remove No Spam to Reply) ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
