Status: offline 		I found that denatured alcohol cut the engine residue best of all. It's sort of pricey so I mix it with cheaper Isopropyl alcohol (50-50). If cleaning a firewall for repairs, I use the denatured alcohol straight. It also loosens up old gummy engines well.

After "degreasing" the plane, then use windex to remove the last of the residue.

Airplane Cleaner



Mix into a gallon jug -

* 10 cups water
* 2 cup denatured alcohol
* 1 cup ammonia
* 1/4 cup of favorite dish soap.

Pour into your spray bottle and use on your airplane as you normally would.


I like it so much I use it on everything, and made 4 gallons of it and placed it in storage. Leaves no oil residue and doesn't leave streaks. Works great for the inside of auto glass.

Status: offline 		 Hi rcflyby!

I suggest that you should also try Jet Stream's Supreme Glaze. With the same cleaning features, it protects the plane surfaces at the same time. It even removes carbon exhaust stains.
Still, it's up to you if you want to try something BETTER,Man.
