My wife has me bought a parts washer for my birthday. Toolstation > Automotive > Mechanics Tools > Parts Washer
Can anyone recommend washer fluid to use, was going to try it with paraffin but not sure if there is anything better/cheaper?

I use kerosene/ paraffin/ 28 sec burning oil out of my central heating tank, works ok if you can let the items soak for a while first.

Think I'll give the paraffin a go and wear some gloves.
Thanks for replies, glad someone got a laugh out of it.

Jizer. Brilliant stuff I've used for the last 40 years.

Isn't Jiz a bit thick to wash parts off with.
