Pros
Dilute this stuff 20:1 like the bottle says and it works like a charm on the greasy belly of an airplane. Simply the easiest way to clean it. I used dry paper towels on a dry belly and it worked great. Highly recommended.

Pros
I was degreasing a motorcycle that had developed oil leaks. I had tried Greased Lightening, the Dawn dish soap, then gasoline. A friend, who is a pilot, loaned me some Carbon X. With this I was able to remove the heavier accumulation of oil and road grunge. I used about a 10-12 to 1 solution.
I was amazed at how well it cleaned everything. As a result, I ordered a gallon, and now have it on hand to use for any and all greasy clean ups.

I am very satisfied with Carbon X, and will keep it my supply of cleaners. I have decided to use it to clean my oven, and see what happens. :-)

Pros
This stuff really, really works great. Best cleaner I have ever used and I am a crazed maniac when it comes to cleaning!
Cons
Takes off all the wax. This means you have a clean plane but have to rewax more often.

Pros
Exhaust stains wipe off easy with no rubbing or buffing. For best results, no need to dilute product.
Cons
I have found that you must go back over painted surfaces with at least a mid soap and water to get any residue off to prevent any damage to paint. Fumes or any spray mist into the eyes is very unpleasant and burns greatly
General Comments
Working within the perameters of the product and wearing protective eye wear, this product works great. Black exhaust stains and oil spots wipe off like water on a counter-top. There is NO rubbing or buffing at all. You just have run back over the areas with a mid soap to get any residue off so as not to damage any of the aircraft's paint. I do recommend this to anyone, it helped me win at Sun 'n Fun back in 2000!

Pros
I have been using Carbon-X for several years on both my plane and for cleaning commercial construction heaters as part of my regular work. It has proven very effective in all types of applications. It can be used in pressure wash, spray bottle and in my hot-tank soaking unit to remove grease, oil, and oxidation residue from the fuels in the heaters.
