Castrol Super Clean
 

I have heard alot of people recommend the Castrol Super Clean item to clean Grease and oils and almost anything else from your truck. Where is the best place to find this item?


Thanks. Truck69:bowtie:

I use it in my parts washer. I get it at Wal-Mart for $5ish a gallon.

They hve em' at walmart like Tx Firefighter said and they also have em' at napa ;) not sure though what it costs there:( but it does work really well I cleaned and preped my whole front end with it before I sprayed on some Hammerite:D

A little warning about this stuff. It works so well that it will remove paint on some things. My son left a bottle of it on top of our dryer and it leaked. Took the paint off. So be careful.

Wear gloves when you mess with that stuff. It will take the oil out of your hands and dry them out.

You can get it at Wal-Mart or at most autopart stores. It is in a purple bottle.

Be shur to keep it away from polished aluminum:( I found out the hard way.

Yeah, and don't spill it on your 'front side' either.
Don't ask.

LMAO!! :lol:

Its great for cleaning wide white walls for those of you who own a hot rod too.

Mopping the garage floor is a good use too.

one ton.whats the holdup on the cad truck?

mostly time and the weather now. I have most everything needed on hand...except for the aformentioned time and place. (No garage or even carpot....it's pretty friggen cold out there these days)

get it at Wal-marts, pep-boys, it loves to eat aluminum, and etch polished, If you get it on there wash off very soon. Yes its a very good cleaner!!

And info on the best degreaser I've ever used
 

I've used the Castrol cleaner several times and it cleaned well. I didn't feel as comfortable around paint and other materials as I do with Simple Green.

I clean a lot of customer and my own engines and undercarriages and I prefer Simple Green. I've not had problems with it damaging anything else.

I find the key to either product is letting the stuff work (give it time after it's on) and agitate once it's been on, especially on thick grease and oil buildups. I often let cleaner stay on 30 minutes and more, rewetting with a little spray from time to time and agitating the thick spots again and again.

Best applicator I've found is a 2 plus gallon garden sprayer with a pump and wand. I mix either the Castrol or the Simple Green 50/50 with water unless the job is extra dirty.

IF YOU WANT TO TRY THE ULTIMATE CLEANER...
I found a far more effective cleaner to use when these common ones are not enough. I have used Histo-clear (d-limonene chemically) on trucks and cars for about five years. I get if from the people who make it at National Diagnostics 800-526-3867. A few years ago it was $119.70 for 5 gal plus shipping. I got sold on it after seeing how it cleaned aluminum transmission housings back to like new. It too takes time. It literally eats (converts?) the oils and greases so they wash off.

Histo-clear cleans oil and grease far more effectively than any Castrol, Simple Green or other product I've every tried. A chemist friend / car guy turned me on to it. One of its common uses is cleaning slides used for looking at things in labs under microscopes. It is essentially pure extract (if I understood it right) from oranges. It doesn't pollute as it's 100% natural the way I understand it. Lots of cleaners have some it them. The Histo-clear is just pretty much pure d-limonene. When I need it, it's worth the extra cost for what it does.

I like greased lightening . I have used it on alot of things and its no where as harmful as super clean.
