Title: best for clean up?
Post by: steve pagano on January 29, 2007, 04:33:32 PM

what's the best stuff out there for wiping down your plane after a flight or when ever to get the oil off ?

I use either plain old Windex or Fabuloso (from Walmart).  Both work great for me.

 ::) I  used mostly use Castroil fuels and they make a mess! The very thing that works best for me is the "Wildcat" Xtream cleaner/degreaser from Tower. I have used every thing made for planes or house cleaning and this is the very best product I have found.
Good luck, Terry

A long haul trucker friend gave me a can of windshield cleaner they use.  Sprays on as a foam and is a degreaser.  I get it now at NAPA.  Made to take oil, etc., off their windshields, isn't expensive and is easy to use!

I have been using windex mixed with 409, other similar product such as Green Clean will also work.
1-gal Windex
1-tablespoon 409
Your mixture of liquid cleaner can be adjusted depending on how much lub is on the plane.
Occasionally I may have to do final wipe with straight windex if a slight film is left.
