I went to Wal-Mart and was looking for my favorite all time cleaner Castrol Super
Clean and was told that the EPA banned it?! What!?! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) I guess the "associates" said they were ticked as well. No warning just, nope sorry we can't stock you anymore in California. You look hard for a good de-greaser, find it cheap and now they ban it! They pointed to Purple Power and I said forget it that stuff sucks. So anybody have a good alternative to use? I know what I'm coming back with the next time I hit Arizona. |

Actually Super Clean was originally "Purple power" or Purple stuff" and it was bought in flea markets and etc across the southeast way before Castrol bought the formula.. The Purplepower is even stronger than the Super Clean and it will eat the top layer of skin right off of your hands.
I hate to see them take this stuff off the market because it really works well- better than anyhing I have ever seen. The flea market is still open now- I'm gonna go buy a whole pick up truck load of it- Nothing cleans an engine case like that stuff! |
