Save your money and use any...yes any detergent. It's what mechanics have been using to wash their hands for years.

Here's a recipe for poor mans Swarfega: Big squirt of washing up liquid + some sugar. Rub hands together...then wash off. Nail brush if you're out on the pull. Thumbs Up

Mucoff isn't cheap stuff and save the brake cleaner for brakes.

Carb cleaner isn't good for rubber, Brake cleaner is okay.


Then why is it used in carbs which tend to have rubber seals in them?
