Degreaser- When Cleaning Car Parts Goes Horribly Wrong

Under: Grease Stains
I am not going to sit here and maintain I know a large amount about cleaning or cleaning products, but I do know for sure that removing a grease stain is not an uncomplicated thing to do. For instance, the other day I thought I would take apart the carburetor from my 1964 Mustang, because there was a part in there that was sticking. It was Sunday and I was still in my church clothes. Now, I know that a normal man would have first went and changed before starting to work on their car, but I am not a normal man I guess.
My dearest is usually here to remind me that it was not a good notion to be working on my car in my church clothes, but she had gone to her sister's baby shower that afternoon ( I was asked if I wanted to go, but given the choice between a baby shower and working on my car, well it was a no brainier). You see, I was so fired up that it was Sunday, I was done with church and the old ball and chain was away for a number of hours, leaving me by myself to finally work on my mustang that I just plain forgot about the changing clothes part.
I also clean forgot about the rule the missus had about me bringing my car parts to the kitchen table to work on them. But, in my defense, the kitchen is where the good light is, and I needed a good light source to find what was jamming up the carb. I will never forget the look on my poor wife's face she strolled in and found me and the kitchen table covered in grease, still in my church clothes. The jammed up carburetor was the least of my worries when the missus told me that I needed to learn fast about grease stain removal, otherwise I was going to be the church's newest server for the next month's pancake social.
