Airplane Cleaning Fluids

Everyone seems to have a favorite cleaning fluid to cut the oil & residue left on our airplanes. Here are some that have proven effective. If you have another please share it with us.

LeRoy C Cordes of Chicago submits:

40oz Water
8oz Rubbing Alcohol
4oz Ammonia
1oz of detergent

Mix well and serve slightly chilled <g>. We have seen this formula published many times under various names and attributed to many different people, most recently as Stan's Polish polish.

Personally, I use good old 409 at one part and 3 parts water. It cuts the oil easily, doesn't leave a residue, and kills 99% of the bacteria <g>. -Wes

How about our pretty polished spinners?
