I can understand this , years ago although not automotive related , one of the facilities I worked at used some orangey smwlling industrial cleaner , by the 55 gal drum , got some of it to soak pistol brass in after shooting which can get grungy if left uncleaned. Anyway that stuff cleaned the powder residue off greatly , leaving them very very bright shiny, but if left in over night it would leave some streaks and spots that would not rinse off and hand polishing wouldn't get all of them off. So yes if you leave brass parts in strong detergant it will affect the surface to a degree . I would like to have some of that stuff again , but over 10 yrs ago that place is a parking lot now. I just wondering if something such as purple power , simple green may do as well as pinesol?? Maybe try it and give some idea of outcome , but I suspect pinesol is cheaper (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) -Csob!!

Just bough a gallon of ZEP brand pinesol at the depot for 4 bucks. I'd say thats pretty cheap.

I tried the pinesol. It sucks compared to B12 Carb cleaner. I can get a gallon of B12 from my FLAPS for $19.95 B12 take much less elbow grease to clean carbs. B12 make the crud fall right off.

I’m resurrecting this thread to check if the new reformulated Pine-Sol is still effective. The stuff doesn’t have any pine oil any more.
Anyone try this lately? |
