Overview
This liquid cleaner/degreaser is intended as a pre-cleaning step for guns before bluing or other metal refinishing work. It is formulated to remove grease, buffing compound residue, and dirt, and it is described as non-caustic and non-hazardous for that preparation stage. The concentrate is supplied in a 1-gallon jug and is mixed to make 10 to 21 gallons of cleaner, which makes it practical for repeated shop use. Typical cleaning time is about 10 minutes, with heavier buildup taking up to 15 minutes.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Primarily intended as a pre-cleaner for guns before bluing or other metal refinishing work, so it is more specialized than a general-purpose shop cleaner.
- The product is designed to be used at 180°F, which adds a temperature requirement to the cleaning process.
- Cleaning time can vary: most parts may clean in about 10 minutes, while heavily soiled parts may take up to 15 minutes.
- One gallon is concentrated enough to make 10 to 21 gallons of cleaner, so it requires dilution and mixing before use.
