The brake part cleaner I use is non-chlorinated. I think it's alcohol based but can't for the life of me remember the manufacturer.. Haven't had any hazing problems with it, but I wait until the parts are completely cooled before I hose 'em down.
Haven't tried acetone yet, but have tried laquer thinner. That seems to dull the finish a bit - either that or it's just smearing the grease around instead of removing it.
I *was* using Murphy's Oil Soap, but it's too friggin' expensive and requires a bit of rubbing and lots of water to rinse it clean.
I've got to run out to get paint for a SWMBO project tomorrow. Think I'll pick up a gallon can of Acetone and see how it works..
