Good God! It's cleaning magic for unsightly grease smears.

you consumeristic fuckcunt.

meanwhile. nitrile dipped "assembly" gloves. 12 or 13$ a PAIR, and you dont throw them away every fucking day for dolphins to choke on and shit.

Serves the dolphins right for getting into my rubbish bins doesn't it. They should stay in the sea where they belong.

Good Old Kero would have done. Works on tar too.

Is chiking bad for dolphins?

wow. just. wow.

do you get text updates when my posts have typos or some shit? or are you just that keen on me?

Just did some googling, you just paid $8 for some petrol soaked rags and a little common variety soap.

Or you're just a Grinch.

Those wipes are convenient.

For serious gunk removals - including paint - 'Goof Off' - is mostly acetone and will lift just about anything.

For the greener of conscience De-sol-vit contains acetic acid from oranges and it works on grease and glue pretty well.

WD40 gets rid of all manner too.

It makes them shit

Yeah, the dirty bastards shit in the water I swim in. Chike the lot of them.

I have those for doing oil changes and when degreasing parts but the thin disposable gloves offer more dexterity and feel when working with small parts and paint or gasket sealers etc.
Disposed properly its no danger to dolphins.

Couple people here mentioning cleaning hands with petrol, very bad idea healthwise...
Used to get a product by the name of Rheinol through work, clay brown paste, only needed a small amount of it and water and it would take any grease and oil off your hands and had enough natural oils added that it didn't dry your skin out etc. Highly recommend.

Guess I'm going to die soon, I cleaned my hands today with a rag I soaked in petrol after working on the bike. Had a cup of coffee and junk food afterwards. Think I'll go for a ride tomorrow while I still can.

Dermatologists are the happiest doctors. Patients rarely die - or get better.

Yep. Dolphins would be going pretty well to get into the Christchurch landfills which are several kms from the sea. Of course I suppose if they were really determined ... and attacked the task with porpoise ...

Should have just got some supercheap auto degreaser. Used it on bike fairings plenty of times to get wayward chain lube much off, and the subframe.
Wouldn't worry about paint being damaged unless very recently sprayed and not hardened.

It's not that great though; a few weekends ago I attacked the built-up chain spooge on my centrestand, and it was unexpectedly wussy. But at least it was cheap (supercheap, in fact: five cans for $12 or somesuch, but I only wanted 2, which was $6 or summat). But it's a wicked defoliant/weedkiller; the verge outside my house still has a bald patch weeks later.

They'd have a whale of a time if they made it.
