    So the whole Simple Green / Alcohol mix... just spray on, wipe off?

    USBC approved for use during competition cleaners are all that can be used DURING competition. You can use any cleaner or mixture you want any other time providing it's not on any kind of banned substance list.

    I have a bottle of Kegel cleaner that's approved and I could refill it with anything I want and may do so when it's empty. I only use my Simple Green/Alcohol mix at home

    I like to use the expensive factory cleaner so I can look down my nose at all the other people with their budget and home-made cleaners.



    Just kidding....I'm too lazy to mix one myself . They also don't sell simple green here I think.

    You must have smarter jerk-offs there than we have around here...they probably couldn't read the label but it would "look" official enough to shut them up!

    It's not bad using straight alcohol. The only real drawbacks are that it's not a degreaser and dries too fast. Mixing it allows for a degreaser and still dries quickly.
