Greased Lightning?

I was wondering if i can use the product greased lightning to clean the housings? I'm afraid that this product would do something to the surface where the rotors come in contact with the housings...

Greased Lightning = BAD IDEA.

Its cuts the grease awsomely.. but when the water dries after rinsing it you'll find all your aluminum will be very dull and have a film of white on it. Its oxidation and once its on there its a pain to get off. Leave it on there long enough (like years worth without running it) and it will eventually eat all the aluminum up.

Also stay away from the purple cleaners.. they do the same thing.. oxidize the aluminum. Read carefully on the back of cleaners if its aluminum safe, usually they will say if it is or not. Simple green is aluminum safe and works well.
