        Stupid way of doing it. Just pour some in all 10 stockings and save the remaining 9.8 bottles for something useful.

    • i bought two for a reason, one for myself and one for my disable uncle, he will enjoy it as a bonus with his xmas gift, he pays like $7 a can or something for like 400grams, so 5L is good, i should not have to explain myself but their u go

  • " A few reviews mention mixing it 50/50 with water and still has good results"

    i never dilute, it's all or nothing.

      Same with weed sprays……

      For bindii we recommend 16:1

      Me: that's nice but I'm going undiluted thanks.

      • Won’t it kill the grass also, unlike a herbicide which is bindii specific?

        • Don't care. It's on a motocross track. Bindii seeds are the death of me and my inner tubes.

      I did this with alcohol once.

      Went blind

      No regrets

  • Good idea to refill used bleach/spray kitchen cleaners etc.

    • Make sure you rinse thoroughly first.

    Is this safe to use on a good of a Webber family Q bbq hood to remove the grease. Thanks

      i’d only use a food safe product like a bbq cleaner

        Bbq cleaners are chemicals too.

          wow crazy…did you know everything is a chemical

          But not all chemicals are food safe.

            @I like freestuff: Im not an expert, but i would assume anything used to break down stubborn grease or oil is harmful. Have you smelt the oven cleaner, even the label says to wear full PPE before you use it

            • @easternculture: It depends on what it breaks down the grease into and side products.

            • +3

              @easternculture: Fun fact: Oven cleaner is just sodium hydroxide (NaOH, lye, caustic soda). It goes into a reaction called "saponification" with oil acids and the byproduct of that reaction is soap. When you mix olive oil and pure NaOH you end up with castille soap. That's why it breaks down grease; it converts it to soap. It is also the main active ingredient of drain openers.

              It is not recommended to inhale the smoke, or touch it when concentrated (because it attracts the water in your skin, and will burn you), but the material itself is pretty safe. Diluted NaOH is also used in baking (baker's lye).

              There are indeed many harmful chemicals that are labeled "food safe", but NaOH is not one of them.

    • same. that is the only use case i can think of now. But if its not safe around bbq then may as well avoid it. It says fully biodegradable as well…

        Beware I think there’s a compound in degreaser that crosses the blood brain barrier , and has potential long term effects . These early onset neurological type problems are becoming increasingly common these days .

        I could be wrong but I believe I read this somewhere about degreaser , and definitely don’t use non-food grade cleaner on bbq’s ect .

        But I still need some for the vehicle , just might be worth also getting half decent large pack of disposable gloves as well and maybe breaking out a mask more often .

        • Jeez….I feel like cancelling my order now.

            @s0805: Breathe deep enough and the worries wash away.

            • @Sleuth: u mean wash away with Degreaser….haaaa

          • @s0805: If you have taken the covid vaccine , no need to worry cause it also crosses the blood brain barrier

          • @s0805: Yea mate life ain’t no joke .
            To be sure there are different bases for these concoctions and this seems pretty poor one going by the reviews , hence the discount
            so maybe that means it’s ‘ safer ‘ .
            But with the amount of mercury and microplastics in fish a seafood dinner could be doing you just as much damage over time also.
            It’s all just information that helps you become more knowledgeable of the world you live in .
            Just like the dry cleaning fluids they ‘ used ‘ to use have created toxic plumes in cities ,
            it’s all just good to be aware of when you’re young , working on cars buying houses feeding the fam ect

            P.S. I’m not a doctor or even own a mask and big stick for dancing , so best to do your own research for an informed decision .

  • I'm trying to remove some stubborn adhesive from my car after removing a vinyl wrap.

    Reckon this will work? Or if there are any issues using it on the cars paint

    • +3

      Sorry, replied to thread, not your comment…

      Use Wax & grease remover. Diggers from Bunnings or any brand will do the job perfectly.

      Otherwise I'd use WD-40 in a pinch but the cleanup is not worth it compared to Wax & Grease remover

      • I might give that a go, it seems readily available at bunnings.

        I've tried wd-40 and alcohol. They didn't work very well, but probably okay for small amounts.

        • drink while you work?

      • A neighbour this evening came to say if you have any WD 40 something and I said maybe… now I know lol

      Try Prepsol to remove it a mate has a panel shop & uses it to remove that kind of glue ,tar etc .

      • That looks great, seems to be intended for cars too. I'll see if i can get my hands on it

    • Try goo and stain remover , it's magic for sticky glue removal

      I had to remove vinyl wrap from sections of a car, i tested Wax & Grease remover which was ok.
      From my testing and experience i found Isopropyl Alcohol worked best.
      Use it when car is cool as possible, let the solution soak in for ~30 seconds, vinyl wrap adhesive cleaned off quite easily, car paint was still perfect afterwards :)

      • IPA did work quite well after soaking when I tried it. But the problem I had was that it evaporated too fast and ends up gunking up again after 1-2 scrapes. i think i would continue to use it for small sections/touch ups

        My car was fully vinyl wrapped, there's just so much gunk to scrape off. I had to constantly reapply IPA because of the evaporation. I think i ended up using 1l-2l after 1 panel, was a lot of work too

        • I used IPA to help remove carbon fibre look wrap on front and rear spoilers, side skirts, door mirrors, but your job is much larger and agree evaporation would be an issue with such a large amount to do. Good that you've done your research, best of luck, it is alot of work

        • Use the hand sanitiser…

    • No

    • Do you regret applying a vinyl wrap or was it worth it to keep the panels in better condition?

      • I think it depends on what your goal is of the wrap.

        Mine lasted about 4 years before it started browning (I got a sort of matte pearl white colour). I'd say 4 years is the cut off point since they wear out and become thinner. Parts that wore off faster were the top of my car, you can see/feel how thin it is from wear. It would've been a nightmare to remove if I left it for another year i reckon

        Ideally, people supposedly remove/reapply it every 2 years so it comes off easier, instead of my case where the glue stuck on the car after removal (was a pain to remove too)

        For protection, it's definitely great but keep in mind it has a limited lifespan. Don't have to worry about washing it a particular way to avoid swirls. Don't need to worry about me and other people rubbing up against the car etc.

        Personally, protection wise I don't think it was worth it for me. But it was worth it for aesthetic reasons

  • Can be used as weed killer? So sick of it

    • Use vinegar or bleach

    • No, this could harm your soil. Just use glyphosate or other specifics such as bow and arrow and if you are keen, weed preventers such as TEnacity, prodiamine, etc etc

  • Is this the wash off type or the one like bendix that evaporates?

  • +2

    I’d have lost my credit if it wasn’t for this post. thanks OP

  • Cheaper than using petrol if you water it down to 50/50.

  • might be stupid question but is this any good to soak oily / greasy rags in before washing?

  • -1

    It is not spray, not practical for engine bay.

  • Does this leave an oily residue like the spray cans?

    • +1

      Not in my experience. Just recently used it to degrease a dismantled 304 engine block and worked a treat (undiluted). No yucky residue.

  • Thanks OP! Bought one.

  • Stupid question maybe but could you use this in a pressure washer. I like the pressurised cans, spraying just doesn't do it for me

  • "should last a lifetime"

    Well… let's just say I have a very greasy workshop.. if you know what I mean.

  • FYI went in to collect my order had a chat to staff - he did the 20lt @ $35 works out to be $8.75/ 5 lt
    refunded the rest bought 2 drums

  • https://www.bunnings.com.au/tricleanium-2kg-all-purpose-clea… has 100% of the active ingredient. Storing the granules is much easier, just add them to water to get the strength you require for the task. For $27 you can make 100-200L of degreasing liquid.

  • Picked up. Very happy with it
