basslover12345 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Has anyone tried the Green Reelman? I hear he does a great job cleaning reels with environmentally green products..... Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Simple Green (and generic equivalents) is an environmentally friendly cleaner/degreaser and is commonly used by almost every professional reel tech I know. All of the folks I know in this business are environmentally conscious and practice responsible handling of products and waste. I don't personally know the person you referenced but would be glad to answer any questions about my own practices. Quote

They are green, and oh bye the way CHEAPER than petroleum based solvents. Let's not even get into the disposal of those solvents. Quote
Super User .RM. Posted February 11, 2012 Super User Posted February 11, 2012 The "Green Reel" man is located in Heber Springs, Ark. Noticed everyone is talking simple green.. I used that stuff in the 90's and found you had to heat it to get it to actully cut built up grease, or you had to use ultra-sonic. Shifted to Safety-Kleen and never looked back, triple filtered system, self contained, and, recycled by SK. Tight Lines! Quote
0119 Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Simple Green took the anodizing off my wife's rims when I used it to remove brake dust. Hate to think what it would do to a reel. I ruined the finish of a Revo SX just whipping it down with a rag that had 3 in 1 oil on it. After that even reel oil scares me! Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 11, 2012 Super User Posted February 11, 2012 Palmolive and elbow grease works fine for me. Never had an issue with Simple Green, works great as a final wipe down to get oily finger prints off. Quote
