[Amps] Surfactants

[Jim Kearman]

Meant to check for a brand name when I went shopping, but forgot. Supermarkets sell spray bottles of 'surfactants,' which are non-toxic and biodegradable. They don't foam like detergents. I've used them to clean up oil leaks when I owned a British sports car. I now use it to clean brake dust off the alloy wheels on my current ride. No damage to the coating on the wheels. A surfactant reduces the surface tension of water, and the crud floats off. You could spray some on small areas of the chassis, and wipe off with paper towels, without needing a gas mask. Note: Some commercial products contain scent ingredients. To avoid having your amp smell like a perfume counter, check the ingredients before buying.
