Quick tip, any petroleum product can be used as a cleansing product for other petroleum products. Back in the day, in the garage, as a parts cleaner, we used a cut in half 55 gal drum with Trans fluid, used of course , as parts cleaner. Works very quickly. With no evaporation or fumes. Bar soap clean hands. If your hands are dirty from any work on your automobile no matter what. You can even keep a bottle of baby oil, vegetable oil ect, to get your hands clean, finger print clean. All you have to remember is, petroleum dissolves petroleum. Happy cleansing after or during.
