Castrol Super Clean vs Simple Green
Basically I'm looking for the pros and cons of each. Which works better? Drawbacks? Preferences?

I have both, If I really need something that is grimey clean and it is not on something that might be damaged (some paints possibly) I use Castrol Super Clean. For other lighter duty cleaning Simple green.

Yup, superclean is heavy duty. If you are going to be using it for any amount of time (like persay cleaning a set of heads) WEAR GLOVES. Ask me how I know.

Actually my friend and I used a 3:1 solution of Super Clean on his seats last weekend with a steam cleaner, made a big difference. I'm thinking of trying it on my seats and carpet.

yeah, it is great stuff. I use it on EVERYTHING at home. I keep 20:1 in the kitchen, 10:1 in the bathroom, 2:1 for spills on the carpet, etc In the garage i keep one spray bottle at full strenght, and one that is diluted. If it needs cleaning, i use superclean.

Yep, that Super clean is serious stuff. Simple Green is good for lighter duty. One good thing about Simple Green is that it is bio-degradable. Won't harm plants or pets. Which is good.
