what do you use in your parts washer

Signman · 03-04-2014, 03:23 PM

Mineral Spirits.
Purple Power or Awesome citrus cleaner from dollar store may be very good and more acceptable.

Pretty Cheap---Kerosene less than $5 per gallon,stinks but so does most solvent

X2 on kerosene, works great just tough on your hands. I keep the lid closed when not using it and the smell is not that bad.

Kerosene for me too
I keep two buckets, clean and dirty
Use oil change pan to wash parts
Primitive but effective
No EPA issues
Plus, you can get rid of the dirty K at a recycle center or use it in a waste oil heater
