POR-15 Marine Clean

As some of you may know, I've been extolling the virtues of the RestoMotive folks, who make the POR-15 products. I've got another one of their products I've used many times as I disassemble the GT and paint them as I'm doing this mini? restoration in conjuction with the V-6/T-5 transplant. A little story here: I was going to keep the original Yellow color, but was persuaded to paint the car Silver, after Margaret, my Significant Other, had seen one at the OMC last year. Not being one to do things half a$$ed, I decided to paint the whole car one color, which necessitated stripping it. O.K. I gutted the interior and had the sound deadening material in the front half of the car frimly glued down and the factory painted over it. 3 days with a putty knife and the warm CA sun got it all out but left a lot of adhesive, and there was a lot of fabric glue everywhere else. I happened to have some Zylene in a jar and decided to try it, it worked actually disolving the black adhesive of the matting, but leaving a mess of streaks. Here's the good part, I sprayed POR-15's Marine Clean, full strength all over the interior of the body and let it stand for about 15-20 minutes while I hooked up my 1100 psi K'Archer vapor blaster. Then I did the interior with the K'Archer. In about 30 minutes or less, the interior was clean, not perfect, I missed a few spots, but check out the attached pics. And heed this warning: The Marine Clean is so strong full strength, it will suck the oils out of your skin. It is meant to be diluted with water of normally 10 parts water, 1 part cleaner.

Ya think BAZ, it might pull some oil out of the ground and ease the gasoline crunch?
