Castrol Super Clean is hard to find. The only places that will carry it are auto stores, and maybe in the auto section at some other stores.

Castrol is no longer sold in aerosol cans, but rather a spray bottle or a larger bottle which you can pour it out of.

Castrol Super Clean is an Automotive Engine Degreaser. look for an Alternative engine degreaser. try Turtlewax. comes in the same purple liquid. or STP Spray can.

but I 'm not trying to degreas my engine. Castrol SUper Clean strips paint very effectively, or can the other brands strip paint too???
I just got mine for 6 bucks at WalMart auto section

Easy Off is an oven cleaner that can be used to remove paint. Stripping paint and stipping chrome are pretty much the same thing. Here are my comments from a paint stripping topic.

True engine degreasers contain Petroluem Distillates(Paint Thinner) which will melt right through plastic. Cleaner/Degreasers like Simple Green and Castrol Super Clean won't melt plastic no matter how long it sits. Castrol Super Clean use to be available in an aerosol can, but was recalled a couple of years ago and never reissued. I haven't been able to find any since. I believe that Castrol Super Wheel Cleaner is just a diluted from of CSC, but I'm not positive.

Brake cleaner is mildly effective, but highly toxic. Same with Easy Off.

My recommendation for stripping paint is Wesleys White Wall Cleaner can be found at all NAPA Auto Stores. My uncle told me this will strip paint very well without hurting the plastic and isn't as toxic as other options.

My other recommendations for stripping paint are items like Pollyscale ELO and Hangar's Strip-A-Kit. These are similar to paint thinner and are effective in stripping paint. They will not harm plastic.

Windex can also be used to strip paint, but ammonia fumes are more than I can handle. It doesn't work that well either.

Simple Green is great for stripping chrome and acrylic paint. It doesn't take long or much effort, and its non toxic and biodegradable and can be poured down the drain when done.

No matter what you use, make sure to use solvent resistant gloves, only do it outside or in a barn, and don't inhale the fumes. I recommend a respirator for the more toxic and votalie ones. You can use a 3M ScothBrite plastic pad to scrub stubborn paint off. They are green and come in a 2-pack. They will not damage plastic no matter how hard you scrub.
