I have been hearing the comments about Simple Green for years and that it
will etch or corrode Aluminum. I'm not saying they are true or not but I
have NEVER had anyone give definitive proof that it actually happens.
Everybody "read a report" or "has a friend who knows somebody". Who out
there has actually USED it on aluminum and seen (with their own eyes) the
damage? I DON'T use it on my Taylorcraft cowl (aluminum) because I DON'T
KNOW if it will cause damage, but I have used it on a Concur Porsche, the
fabric parts of the Taylorcraft (over steel tube), numerous steel parts and
LOTS of bare and painted aluminum that is NOT in my plane. I have NEVER
seen any corrosion or etching any worse than caused by Windex, soap and
water, plain water or general etching of the surfaces from exposure to the
elements (like lawn chairs). Has ANYONE ever seen these effects THEMSELVES
or does anyone have an OFFICIAL report of this etching and corrosion ever
happening?
Like I said, I'm not saying it doesn't happen, and I can't prove it does, I
just know the stuff is GREAT for cleaning all kinds of surfaces, smells good
and is CONSTANTLY maligned by the aviation community WITH NO PROOF. If it's
bad, I'll use it in the house and ban it from my hangar, if it's not bad, I
want proof of that too. Who has it?

No,

couldn't agree more. The idea of washing an aircraft and being able to
keep fluid from creeping into seams and slits is preposterous.
