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.

Foamy Engine Brite is great stuff, it is fun to apply too! watch it faom up and attack the crud. Anyone else use it? It leaves a different kind of smell on you for days, but doesn't eat the skin.

I always chase the used oil I pour down the sewer with engine cleaner, want to do the right thing, and not leave a mess!

I think I'm going to convert my car to bio-diesel, I'll burn whale oil!
