tried it under the belly and to make a long story short, I spent the
next 15 minutes on my back with a rag, and 8437R's tummy never shined

so bright since her last new paint job years ago. It really works
great on belly grease and grime and fuel stains. It took me perhaps
1/5th of the bottle to do 37R's belly. I'll buy more when I've used
it up because it made the nasty job really go quickly. Aircraft
Spruce has it for $10. It meets Boeing spec D6-1748P.

Home Depot has VM&P Naptha for about $9/gallon. Works great on a wad of
paper towels for degreasing the belly of airplanes. I've done mine
about 7 times and still have half the gallon left. Dries away clean and
shiny too and does not hurt the paint. Just keep in mind the
flammability and use in a well-ventilated area.

Not visibly so-- it's still quite shiny, especially the brown part.
But it IS a 1979 model, and AFAIK original paint. So it could be...

What dilution do you use for routine cleaning?

I never measure it, I just put some in with a bucket of water and carry
around a squirt bottle of full strength for problem areas.

I agree that it does a great job removing grease, oil, and gas stains.
On my plane though, it also seems to be removing a bit of the paint (I
have brown trim and wiping it with E.S.G. with a white rag ends up with
some brown on the rag).

I REALLY miss the overall cleaning and waxing properties of Lemon
Pledge Trigger! Everything else I've tried seems to be "watery", in
contrast to the Pledge "lotion-y".

I'll probably just fall back to using plain water ....

John, have you ever tried Aerocosmetics' Wash&Wax? Doesn't work on
grease but the bugs it works great. They also sell a "brillo pad" that
does not scratch. However, I do not use it on the plastic, just the
paint. This combination works well on removing bugs on your automobile.

Damn! Thanks for the heads up! I'll keep my eye on this. Anybody
else had the same problem? BTW, what's E.S.G.?

Extreme Simple Green?

have picked right up on it! :' )
