degreaser

On the subject of degreasers I use "Simple Green".
small quantities are enough to remove oil/exhaust stains from around the exhaust pipe of my R44.
The thick and clingy mixture of engine oil/ exhgaust and TKS fluid on the underbelly of my Mooney is very reluctant to shift with anything but Simple Green and even this requires copious quantities of elbow grease applied lying under the aircraft on a mechanic's roller. What fun! Important to wear eye protection for this job as lots of splashback into eyes is not uncommon.

For general cleaning I use Autoglym car shampoo, a clean sponge and a chamois leather.
Once or twice a year I do every painted surface (except transparencies) with autoglym resin polish - it works beautifully and keeps your bird shining like a new pin.

Anyone have any experience wuth the anti-corrosion products out there?
