[C320-list] Cleaning winch

[Rod Boer]

Jeff,

I have used the liquid paraffin that I use in the lamp on the boat and it
works great.  I am pretty sure that kerosene would work also.

I've disassembled my Lewmar winch and was attempting to degrease everything
using mineral spirits. I didn't have enough so I went to Lowes to buy more
but I found out they no longer supply mineral spirits in my area due to new
regulations.  The salesman suggested acetone which is doing a very poor job.
Any suggestions on a degreasing agent?
