There was grease everywhere; tools, cloths, floor, and all over the suspension. What's a good solvent to clean all this grease (wife takes care of the cloths). I don't need admonishment, but I used gas. Yah I know ... I was thinking of buying some kerosen. Unless it's expensive, what do mechanics use.. if anything at all. Thank you.

Ventilate the areas well and careful of painted things or rubber things. IMO kerosene stinks, I mean odor that lasts longer that what I mentioned. Most mentioned are flammable - use all care with that. Good luck and make wire happy don't wash greased up cloths. Many shops use a "rag" service swap for clean ones periodically I never do cut myself on metal shards stuck in those never forgotten so don't and won't, T T Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jun 12, 2021, 3:07 PM Post #3 of 3 (820 views) Re: good solvent Sign In Gas is a bit dangerous. Mineral spirits would work a lot better. It is flammable but nowhere near as bad as gasoline. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
