This question of whether Simple Green was aluminum
safe came up in
the aircraft world a few years back and the answer turned out to be
that some ingredient in there is mildly corrosive to aluminum. Not
badly so and if you managed to flush it off with water then no
problem but if a bit of cleaner were to weep into a crack and not get
get cleaned off then over time it might be a problem. Not too long
after that Simple Green came out with a new formulation, Simple Green
Extreme or something like that, that *was* aluminum safe. So look
for the Simple Green that's sold for cleaning airplanes if you're
cleaning around aluminum.
Freon TF works well on everything. Too bad it's not available.
Is it still used for aircraft electronics?
