Default Re: Degreaser for cigarette tar removal

I have had fantastic luck removing the nasty stuff from glass and such with just straight ammonia.
Also Krylon Foaming Glass Cleaner is the cats pajamas for cleaning glass & chassis and such.
Always carried a couple of cans of it in the old tube caddy for house calls.

If the item is glass and non-metallic or plastic, foaming oven cleaner works fine.
I even used it on old cast iron engine blocks and it would take a few shots, but ate the crud right off, even some sticky tar/oil. Just be sure to really rinse good a couple of times.
