I used to carry a small bottle of triclor when I rode 2 stroke 
motorcycles. Fouling plugs was a major problem and a few drops of 
triclor fixed them right up. My dad had an unlimited supply of it at home.

When I mentioned using Brake Free for metal parts like guns, I meant to 
lube and protect the surfaces, not clean them. I learned about this from 
a serious gun collector I worked with. He had 400+ 9mm pistols on 
display at home and I asked him how he kept up with oiling them. He uses 
Brake Free. It seems to last almost forever.

For cleaning parts, I sometimes clean small model airplane engines. They 
get hard, baked on castor on the aluminum and steel surfaces. A crockpot 
with antifreeze set to the lowest temp setting works like magic when 
left for 10 hours, or so. You have to do this outside and mark the 
crockpot in some way so the wife won't put it back to service in the 
kitchen.
