Personally, I love the smell of Gojo because it always brings back memories of my dad. He was an auto mechanic and used it religiously for cleaning the grease off his hands. I figure if it was good enough for that, it can take off 70 years of accumulated grease and oil on my radio.
He goes fast in those videos but covers an amazing amount of topics. I definitely recommend repeated viewings.
I got some of the lithium grease on my hands and boy does it stick. I was glad to have the Gojo handy.

I've been putting weight on it for about a day and it is showing signs of improvement. We're heading into another cold spell though so I'll need to put it near a space heater to keep it warm.
