The Old Grey Whistle Test
Never been a fan of any APC (or one size fits all either)
SG has this to say about their product-
Is it safe to use Simple Green on aluminum?
http://consumer.simplegreen.com/cons_faqs.php
Simple Green products have been successfully and safely used on aircraft, automotive, industrial and consumer aluminum items for over 20 years. However, caution and common sense must be used: Aluminum is a soft metal that easily corrodes with unprotected exposure to water. The aqueous-base and alkalinity of Simple Green or Crystal Simple Green can accelerate the corrosion process. Therefore, contact times of All-Purpose Simple Green and Crystal Simple Green with unprotected or unpainted aluminum surfaces should be kept as brief as the job will allow - never for more than 10 minutes. Large cleaning jobs should be conducted in smaller-area stages to achieve lower contact time. Rinsing after cleaning should always be extremely thorough - paying special attention to flush out cracks and crevices to remove all Simple Green/Crystal Simple Green residues. Unfinished, uncoated or unpainted aluminum cleaned with Simple Green products should receive some sort of protectant after cleaning to prevent oxidation.
in HS we watched a video of simple green, when they had their pitch for nasa the owner drank it to prove to them it was safe.
Why would anyone drink a high alkaline cleaning product, most of all why do it as a demonstration to high school children (only in america)
The US Navair will not allow SG to be used on aircraft, period
