Tide Free detergent for my grubby work clothes and shop rags. They all get washed in a five gallon paint bucket at the end of the weekend. My SO won't let them anywhere near her washing maching. Vinegar for windows and interior hard surfaces. Boraxo, hot water and a scrub brush for cleaning hands. This is followed by a liberal application of Corn Huskers Lotion. Amazing! for degreasing the engine & transmission. This is some stuff that I got at the dollar store that is supposed to be some supper cleaner stuff similar to Simple Green. I spray it on using a garden sprayer and then go down to the diy carwash and rinse it off. BTW. When I clean the engine, I clip a big plastic sheet to the top of the rear hatch opening and the trailing edged of the access hatch. I position the sheet so that I covers everything inside and prevents the spray from getting on any of the interior. Works great. John-Reed Maffeo '86 Syncro - Glacie |
