RE: Cleaning Engines

[Gary Broeder]

Folks,

I have tried many things to clean oil covered locos and the best I have found is Tilex 
soap scum remover. Most  
supermarkets and hardware stores stock it. We also use it at work to get sensitive 
circuit boards spotlessly 
clean. (Flux removal). It is the best degreaser I have found without going to nasty 
solvents. 20 years ago we 
actually used freon for a  flux  remover! I would use gloves as Tilex will also 
degrease your hands.
