Also handy for cleaning sealing machined surfaces like the final drive cover with out leaving any scratches / gouges, used with Ether (starting fluid) as a solvent it's fast too .
I've heard so much about this KROIL product over the years (mainly on this forum and BW) and have never been able to source it - I've had to look for alternatives. At the moment I've settled on this one being the best I can buy here in Holland =>

I've rarely seen it for sale outside of the Benelux countries


Instead of coming in an aerosol it has a handy little pump feature
