Amazon doesn't have the gallons anymore, but this is the stuff: https://www.amazon.com/Detail-King-B...s%2C166&sr=8-2
It doesn't say to mix 50/50 with water. You do this to extend it, and it still works?

I keep reading about water and hydrogen peroxide mixtures.

What happens if that mixture gets on you hot engine or exhaust parts?

(I ask because I use a hydrogen peroxide mixture to force rust gun parts as a preservative process.....I heat the parts and apply my solution to MAKE rust appear. Doesnt it have the same effect on motorcycle parts?)

I've used it for 40 years during love bug season here. I've never seen it remove wax or cause any adverse affects like rust.

Ok. I was talking about the link you posted of spray bottle. Guess it comes pre mixed.
