   There speaks someone who never actually worked on cars.  We used to have   
   a 5-gallon can of Gunk into which we would dip greasy parts. You spray    
   or brush Gunk on, let it sit for a while and then hose it off.  It turns   
   grease to soap.  It's the same stuff as in mechanics' hand cleaner.  I    
   have a gallon of it that smells like oranges and contains pumice for    
   extra hand-cleaning power.  The cans of gel-like stuff make a satisfying   
   sproing sound/feel when you tap the can.   
      
   No idea what the 1....benzene stuff is, but Gunk gives you REALLY clean    
   hands.   
      
   Brake fluid can be used to remove nail polish.  Just so you know.

       You're such a loser that if there was a contest for losers   
       you'd come in second.
