Default Aluminum Engine Cleaner

I just ran out of Winzer SSC 100 (now called SPS 100 I think) that I use to clean the fins and other aluminum finishes on my engine. Excellent cleaner that removes all sorts of oils and stuff and evaporates away. Been unable to locate a replacement can. Any ideas where I can buy it or something else that also works without staining? Thanks.

WD-40 basically does anything that duct tape won't do.

It burns off, smokes, and leaves a residue that collects dirt; redneck engineering. Silicone based products on a blackened engine/transmission/primary.

On a blacked out engine, Pig Spit works, and work well...

+1 on Pig Spit. It doesn't attract dirt & dust.
