Re: OK Now do ya wanna know what SEA FOAM is made of???
That Naptha definitely has some cleaning ability. Working on trailer wheel bearings yesterday. I have a full gallon of Coleman Lantern fuel laying around. [100% NAPTHA] Poured a cup or so in a container. soaked the bearings for 10 min ,swirled em around a few times. Came out about spotless. The tiny bits of surface rust broke down so i was able to wipe the rust off with a paper towel, to show the etched metal below. New bearings going in. Then I put some in a little spray bottle and user it to clean up the backing plate , brake drums etc.. Proved to be an effective, inexpensive alternative to degreaser, brake cleaner etc... $8 a gallon...
