I have been shopping parts washers, but am not interested in a "stoddard solvent" type washer, any really good solutions? My garage is attached and even brake cleaner is vented (winter or summer). Need to be able to clean something as large as a 911 case.
Any suggestions would help. Please limit comments to what you have actually used. The stuff I am interested in is: how quickly it dries on a part, how do you renew or recycle the fluid, flammability, how well it removes oils and grease from air/oil cooled engines. Thanks, Erik |

Johnmans right. I have used the dishwasher a few times. Most recently restoring the Webers which I had stripped down. You have to wait until she has gone out. I used normal washing up detergent not the caustric dishwasher stuff. She did find out about it sometime later, I think about the time I was preheating the cylinder heads in her new stove. It did not go down well.
