What sort of "grease-dissolving or acidic agents" are they warning us away from? Wouldn't petroleum distillates and dishwashing liquid count as "grease dissolving" and wouldn't citrus-oil based cleaners count as acidic?
floor cleaner? I know some shops that use it to clean chains. It works great, but you have to rinse the chain really well with water or the cleaner can damage the finish. You then use the air compressor to blow dry the chain.
