Default new cleaning product: Simple Green for aircraft

Anybody try this (rather expensive) new product (approved for
aircraft)? In particular, it's advertised as OK for aluminum, rubber
and plastic (unlike mineral spirits).

If left in the faying surfaces, it WILL cause corrosion.

Try this yourself, take a small square of new shiny aluminum and leave it in
Simple Green for a day or so.

Try WashWaxAll. I've tried and wasn't particularly impressed by Simple
Green. Have
used WWA for quite a while.

Just don't get it where it can't be washed off or out. it will
corrode, but then again I've seen people cleaning their airplanes with
Formula 7, or is it 9 over at Oshkosh. That stuff has Ammonia in it
and will corrode Aluminum in a heartbeat.

it does clean well, but if no flushed off thoroughly it can be
expensive.

We are talking about different products. The simple green for aircraft
doesn't corrode aluminium.

I have a bottle of "Simple Green(TM) here and it will turn polished
Aluminum white if not thoroughly rinsed. That leads me to believe it
would not be a good idea to use it in areas where it could not be
thoroughly flushed.

Or do they make one version specifically for aircraft?

Yup. And blessed by Boeing. It's named "Extreme Simple Green".

I did read the subject line which only tells me that the OP called
Simple Green a cleaner for aricraft. Like a number of posts the
original is not on my server so I've never seen a link to this
product.
