Do you use odorless mineral spirits for parts washing?
I used to fill my parts washer with 2 gallons of odorless mineral spirits, because it seemed to be an effective an affordable degreaser that didn't evaporate or give me a headache.
I shelved the basin when pump burned out , and reverted back to spraying my parts clean with brakleen, WD-40, foamy engine degreaser, and Orange Zep.
I recall a higher level of cleaning efficiency using a parts washer, so I've revived the unit.
Before I fork out $45 on 2 gallons of OMS, I'm curious to know. Do you know of a better liquid parts degreaser for around the same price?
I'd prefer a vat of un-concentrated foodservice grade D-limonene, but am not in the mood to spend $200+ for it. Am
pondering the idea of using Orange Zep, but it doesnt smell like oranges, and something tells me it will turn plastic and rubber parts to goo.
Been meaning to get around to informing myself about ultrasonic parts washing, so I don't know the effectiveness of that option, but considering I already have my old parts washer ready to go , I'd rather just fill it and get to scrubbing .
Pardon my longwinded longness , and big thanks for sharing opinions .
