Parts Cleaner liquid what do you use ???

[Ramblin Ron]

Hi folks, Question for you Newell Owners out there with parts cleaners...what do you recommend to put in them?
I keep hearing folks say that the stuff you purchase and add water does not clean well at all.

Someone said to get Varsol and add a quart of transmission fluid to it and add a little grease so your hands dry out.

Please help!

Thanks a ton!

Costco sells a product called Oil Eater-which is a water based cleaner. It is the best degreaser I've ever used! Can use it for washing car diluted, cleaning clothes, I use it to clean the carpet, and it smells nice. My wife is ever amazed at how well it gets the grease out of my clothes.

Good Luck,

Sean

i use mineral spirits, work great and only around $5.00 gallon

K1 Kerosine also works. Can be mixed with mineral sprits ( about the same consistency ).

I also bought a 5 gallon can of parts cleaner at Tractor Supply. I think at the time is was less than $50 Kero works better though. Odorless unlike using diesel.

You can go to your local auto supplier and buy Stodard solvent, that is what is used in most professional cleaners tanks.
