Five products were identified and shown to be effective at removing the various contaminants from steel coupons. During the parts cleaning, one product was the most successful under each of the operating conditions. The client was interested in another product they had tried. This product was evaluated and comapred to the other lab tested products. It was comparable to the other products but did not out perform the one the lab identified when tested on the supplied parts. On site piloting may be arranged.
