When my mate was a grease monkey in Germany they used white Swarfega. I went over one year and the wheel bearing went a few days before. They arrived on the day of departure so it was decided i limp it over and change them at his shop what worked out fine until it was clean up time. This stuff was shit. May as well use a bar of Fairy, and it never had the smell.

Vegtable oil with a pinch of sugar is way better than most degreasers such as swarfeger.

The best thing about Swarfega is the way a brand new tub vibrates if you slap it.
