Optimum Power Clean is the best all around cleaner I've ever used. It's not specifically for grease, but it works pretty well. It's sort of like a super heavy duty car soap.

PPC Crud Remover is pretty amazing. KBS Kleen is great too, maybe not as strong as PPC when both used full strength, but it's a lot less expensive and works better when diluted. I don't know why exactly, but that's my experience. Both are extremely hard on your skin, wear gloves and eye...

I'm looking for the highest pressure pneumatic grease gun that's reasonably priced. Any recommendations?

OK sounds like B12 might be the way to go. Any thoughts for cleaning coked up intake valves on GDI engines and diesels? That stuff is VERY persistent!

So Neutra and lacquer thinner 50/50 seems to me like it would work very well, no?

Is that respectively, or you mean you mix the two and use them for both jobs?

Hi, I got an injector cleaning tool like this <img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/417FvhbgihL._SY300_.jpg" class="post-image" align="left" alt="" /> What kind of cleaner is best for injectors? How about intake valves on GDI engines? I know companies like BG make specific...

My old man has a '06 Acura MDX. They have notoriously problematic transmissions I gather. So far no issues, but I want to install a filter and I'm just wondering if it would be more beneficial to use a full flow system or a bypass type. The transmission doesn't have a true filter from the...

If it's not pumping against any pressure there is very little power required to turn the pulley. One benefit is that you can always have <span style="font-style: italic">some</span> refrigerant and lubricant circulating to keep all the components and seals from rotting

From a chemical standpoint it would be fine, but as mentioned it could cause warranty issues.

Often times bad control arm bushings will leave minor wear marks where the arm rubs in the mounting point, I have a vehicle on my lift right now for LCA replacement, I'll snap a few pics in a while. You can get a better clue if it's your rotors by heating them up a bit, if the vibration gets...

Another thing I forgot, a lot of times rotors are coated with corrosion inhibitor wax/oil. Most people clean the friction surface but there is still some gunk remaining on the hat and cooling fins

Did you use Pro-ACT pads? In my experience they smoke a lot when new if driven hard. I think it's because of a certain type of phenolic resin binder they use. I think they are great pads, they just have that quirk. And like others have said, soap (degreaser) and water is best to clean new or...

The idea Is just to prevent significant corrosion from forming. It washes off pretty quickly in the sense that it doesn't look like a film is still there, but it's very difficult to remove completely, especially silicone lubes, you can ask any auto body guy lol. The trick is to use it sparingly...
