drum Degreasing reels
Recently Bantam 1 mentioned that the Shimano repair facility uses simple green crystal to degrease and clean reels. On the sg label the instructions are to rinse w water after applying. What do U do? Thanks for your valuable advice.

After we scrub with the SGC we rinse with freshwater and use compressed air to blow dry the reels.

Can not find simple green "crystal". Will the green or yellow work?

You should be able to use the green. I would just dilute it with water. The crystal you can use straight without diluting it.
