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.

Anything that works worth a damn eats right through gloves, Nitrile or Latex.....

Uh-huh, and if it eats through through those substances.....

Please be careful. You do this as a business not just an occasional hobby thing--more contact. My brother-in-law paints and he's a fanatic about keeping all the chems off his skin.
