Belly Cleaning...?

I'm no chemist, but the results of a few minutes Googling lead me to believe
that "Scrubbing Bubbles" is a bad choice. It seems that "Dow bathroom
cleaner with scrubbing bubbles" contains ammonium chlorides and ammonium
chlorides corrode aluminum:

I used to use a hand cleaner and it worked very well. Lately I've started
using
"Scrubbing bubbles" on recommendation by several people. A lot easier to
use
and just as effective. Available in supermarjkets everywhere

I won't dispute that but I use it on a fiberglas composite fuselage

A slight enhancement...put the mineral spirits in a spray bottle and
mist it on the belly. Wipe off later with the cloth of your choice.
This keeps the stuff from running down your arm and pooling in your
arm pits.

Hi,

I'm looking for ideas on how to best clean the belly of my plane.
It's a Cherokee and is pretty greasy/grimy/dirty underneath. I'm
hoping to find something I can buy from a non-aviation source (like a
supermarket or auto parts store), and it would be Great if I didn't
need any water.

TIA for any responses.

That's funny. A level 4 would probably do the trick!

Uh, I find that rain takes the paint off while leaving the dirt unaffected.
Like a Massachusetts snowplow - digs out potholes without touching the snow.

If it is harsh enough to etch Al, what is it doing to the paint and
fabric?
