Hi Wes,
I can not read the translation, not much comes up, but a small part is readable and it said it was translated from Rumanian. Should translate it from Hungarian, because it is a Hungarian product. The two languages are completely different. If you or somebody would like to try it I can call the manufacturer on Monday and ask if they have a U.S. distributor or I can tell you the name of the chemicals it was made from and than you can try to find something in U.S. wich compares. Maybe making a "Home Brew". Acid and lye free with unlimited shelf life.

I tried the Barryman chem dip and carb cleaner and yes, it's as bad as the guy told me. I dunked the castings overnight and it didn't even remove some grease that I couldn't reach with the scrubber. The worst part is it turned the casting a dark grey color. Man that stuff is a rip off.

I ended up using good old kerosene and it cleaned the castings great but they still don't look like a rebuild from the store.
