Yes...but then again.....
Not so good if you happen to fancy a fag while you're doing the cleaning though.
Perhaps a bit aggressive on some surfaces too.
And not cheap either, at today's prices.
And it removes every last trace of greasiness, leaving the surface squeaky-clean but totally unprotected. Even paraffin seems to leave a faintly waxy residue behind, which affords at least a bit of protection.

I used Jizer once, back in the 70s, to clean the engine of my 350 Yam.
I think the fumes from it must be explosive, and must have somehow accumulated behind the points cover, because when I started it there was a loud bang and the points cover, complete with attatchment lugs to the main casing below, blew completely off.
I'm thinking that petrol may have similar drawbacks.

btw...I recently discovered that meths works a treat for removing deep grime from paintwork, and doesn't seem to affect the paint itself (at least mine was fine, although its not original ducati paint...its always worth testing a hidden area first)
My tank is now as bright as the day it was painted.
