[R-390] Benchmark - R390A odd-ball cleaning and lubrication

[Cecil Acuff]

Trichlor is back in spray cans...

It's a great cleaner/degreaser and as long as you don't go swimming in it 
probably as safe as any other cleaner/degreaser that works.  Note I 
mentioned works.  Lots of the so called "Green" cleaners now days don't 
really get the job done that great..
