WD-40
Known as "the can with a thousand uses," WD-40 protects metal from rust and corrosion, penetrates stuck parts, displaces moisture, and lubricates just about anything. But did you know it can also be used as a cleaner?

THE FIVE BASIC FUNCTIONS:

CLEANS…WD-40 gets under dirt, grime and grease to clean. It also dissolves adhesives, allowing easy removal of labels, tape, stickers, and excess bonding material.

DISPLACES MOISTURE...Because WD-40 displaces moisture, it quickly dries out electrical systems to eliminate moisture-induced short circuits.

PENETRATES...WD-40 loosens rust-to-metal bonds and frees stuck, frozen or rusted metal parts.

LUBRICATES...WD-40's lubricating ingredients are widely dispersed and hold firmly to all moving parts.

PROTECTS...WD-40 protects metal surfaces with corrosion-resistant ingredients to shield against moisture and other corrosive elements.

DONT use ammonia based solvents on plastic (windex, etc.). otherwise paint thinner should work well. be sure to wash parts after.

One word TOOTHPASTE. Yes, sounds weird and crazy, but it is known to remove permanent marker. Make sure to use regular everyday toothpaste, NOT the baking-soda based one.

brake clean works good too, i had some pernmanent marker(dont ask why) on my truck and i sprayed brake clean on it and it just dissappeared no wiping involved. or electrical cleaner dissolves it like that too.
