What NOT to do !

Do NOT use SuperClean in an aluminum tray to clean your chain..... bad sheet happens.

You didn't use it full strength, did you? THAT'S strong as Drano!

I've seen that stuff eat floor wax off tile in less than 3 seconds @ full strength -- there are pretty good dilution directions on the gallon jug.

There is a warning on the bottle not to use it on aluminum alloy or other alloy metals. I use Simple Green at full strenght, it does as good of job as Super Clean, has a better smell to it and is not harmful or caustic.

Yea man, full strength ! Aluminium does not do well with this stuff. Warning labels, who reads those ? (j/k) Glad I had removed the chain and that stuff didn't hit the wheels !

I guess that's the funny part. It was foaming away almost instantly and I remember thinking to myself "wow I've never seen this stuff do that before" and kept on doing whatever it was that I was doing. Never noticed or gave it another thought until I saw it all over the garage floor. Thought I had bumped and quickly realized that was not the case. Live and learn
