Butches Bore Shine vs. GM Top Engine Cleaner

Layne Simpson wrote about using GM Top Engine cleaner for cleaning bores back in the eighty's or early nighties (or maybe it was in his nighties I forget :shock: )........cheers mic
 
There was a thread on the net quite some time ago where someone had supected that GM Top Engine Cleaner and Shooter's Choice were one and the same and had the two tested. Apparently they were chemically identical. I can't vouch for this but it doesn't surprise me as Shooter's Choice, Butch's etc. are unlikely to have a product manufactured specifically for them; perhaps even GM don't- they just repackage a commercial solvent.

I couldn't find Top Engine Cleaner but did get Cleenz and have found it works very well at a fraction of the price.

I suspect the same is true of WipeOut. There seem to be a number of successful foaming bore cleaners out there. I did a little research on this a while ago and I think I found that the original product comes from Finland. So possibly many of the foaming bore cleaners are licenced from the original mfr. and repackaged by the licencees.

The ammonia smelling compound was probably Sweets 7.62

Kroil can be had from some mail order companies - shop around.

"Full auto" posts

Am I the only one to notice that there seem to be an awful lot of 'full-auto' postings lately? :?:

Nope. But there seem to be some problems with the CGN server. I tried posting my reply at one point yesterday and got a "debug" error. I think I did try a couple of times with apparently no result. I logged on later and was able to post it, but when I got a "topic reply notification" last night, I am sure that my message was only there once. Now the other failed attempts have appeared!

I have also noticed in the last couple of days that although the "preview" function is quick as usual, actually posting seems to take ages, as sometimes does going to a particular post in a forum, or even logging off.

Hopefully the webmaster is aware of this.
