Having had excellent results with their penetrating oil--Kroil/AeroKroil--I
decided
to buy some of Kano Labs' degreaser product, Floway.
I've only tried it on some grease on landing gear, which is pretty tenacious
stuff, and
it seemed to work well. Kano seems to have good products overall (they had a
special
on the product--a spray can and a gallon can for about $30--a while ago, don't
know
if it's still in effect).
