I use it without any mixing { except for spray bottles , half water then } to clean my rods and reels , dampen a clean rag with it and clean the cork and the blank , use Q-tips on the eyes . Use SG soaked Q-tips to clean all those hard to reach spots on reels . I also use it to clean the inside of my truck , my fish cleaning board , the kids bikes , you name it . Dosent require as much rinsing as dish soap or de-greaser . They sell small bottles at Dollar General I think which will be cheaper .
