After yet another afternoon of coating myself and everything within 10 feet of me with black dust, I found myself in the laundry room, trying to get the "funk" off my hands as I'd run out of latex gloves and had to polish "in the buff" so to speak.
I discovered someone had pilfered the last of my hand cleaner and left me with an empty jug so I began to rifle the cabinets looking for soap. I ran across a bottle of Murphy's Oil Soap, and thought I'd give it a try. I figured it works good on the wood floors with all the **** I track all over them, why not my hands.
Wouldn't you know it, that stuff takes polishing funk right off of skin with little scrubbing. I hadn't cleaned the parts I'd just finished polishing yet and decided to see how Murphy's would clean aluminum. Damned if it didn't clean all the compound remnants off the aluminum as well as it took it off my hands.
For giggles, I did a water break test on the piece I washed. Not a bead of water to be seen - it all just sheeted right off.
Anyone ever used Murphy's Oil Soap to clean parts after polishing? Any reason not to
