Sound familiar, its from the manual.

What is a non volatile cleaning solution? What's wrong with petrol or paraffin. I know, I just realised that petrol is not very clever when inhaled.

Photo shows getting there.

Well highly volatile solvents have been known to ignite from a static electric shock . Simple green would be one type of heavy duty cleaner that is water based and will not burn.. Not sure what you are cleaning though

I would never use carb cleaner, brake clean, petrol or any other flammable solvents on anything BUT raw metal parts, OFF THE BIKE.

On all else I use for frame cleaning on powder coated parts, 409 or Simple Green.  I do not leave it on long even then.  Most of my cleaning jobs are done with just spray water bottles and a rag.  I think I've only used a hose on my bike, maybe once.  That may be why it takes me 3 to 4 hours to clean my bikes.

  Works well,does not remove powder coating....does remove carbon really well

Simple green works ok.....the industrial version works better but you have to buy 5 gallons at a time....smells about the same is not green
