I know, I know, I am the proverbial broken record on
solvents, but the Super Agitene contains lanolin which
puts an almost undetectable coating on the part so the
part won't rust the minute you take it out of the tank.
The lanolin also is there for your hands -- you can use
this stuff without wearing gloves, it smells great,
lasts forever, blah, blah, blah...
I know you are tired of hearing this, but if you can
afford it, again I say you will not regret spending the
money. I bought 30 gallons of the stuff for my
drum/barrel-type parts washer back in 1997 or 98--it
was a great decision. I use it very often for my
motorcycles (a BSA and a Harley-Davidson), a Triumph
TR6 that I basically have disassembled and re-assembled
in the parts washer, a 75 Ford Van, a couple new cars,
etc. -- it has seen a ton of use, but still looks,
smells as works the same as it did when I loaded it up.
I love using the stuff -- not many people will tell you
that about the solvent in their parts washers -- trust
me on this one.
