Preffered Cleaner Degreaser For Cleaning Old Machines & etc

[tylersteez]

mineral spirits with a scraper and scrub brush. A lot of degreasers don't really do much, mineral spirits truly does break down grease and oils

Dried coolant did not respond to my many attempts at removal. At best I was able to soften it a bit and then I had to scrape it off.

E85 Gasoline. It'll be the cheapest solvent per gallon. The 85% ethanol will cut through almost any old waxy varnish/grease/oil if you let a piece soak.

Regular gas works great too. Both come with fire risk if you're using enough of it (duh)
