[GreenKeys] Cleaning agents...

[drlegendre .]

This ATF + Axetone thing has always been a mystery to me. How are you
supposed to use this concoction when the two ingredients aren't miscible?
They separate out just like oil & water! Isn't the idea that the thin,
light acetone (a solvent) acts as a carrier to conduct the ATF (a
lubricant) into the very tight spaces between stuck parts? This makes sense
with mixtures like naphtha and oil(s) for instance, but not with two
components that will not go into solution.

Are you supposed to shake the heck out of it, then hope it works before two
two components separate? Huh, really?

And BTW, the actual mixture that was used in the original test didn't
include ATF, it was PSF (power steering fluid) and acetone. Seriously, look
it up. Still the same issue though, PSF isn't miscible with acetone either.
So the mystery remains.

Fwiw, I'm a Kroil fan.
