    SuperC is open tomorrow.,.... go and buy a few more cans of their degreaser, 'cos you've just run out,-have'nt you!

    I've tried similar things in the past but SWMBO has a mind like an elephant and never forgets!

    I shrunk her custom made table cloth for her markets in a similar incident. I swear it's still held against me!

    i have tried the dishwasher method, but i got one out of a mates rental house after the tenants kicked up a stink about needing a new one,

    it now lives in my garage, simply as a parts washer, I do have to open it up for a good clean out and service shortly, but i will add the cheap dishwasher tabs from coles and woollies are fine for car parts,

    so clean u could eat off them!
