yes, it does make a good cleaner, it will thin out whatever grease/dirt/crap is on it and then let you wipe it off. Works good for cleaning years of engine grease off the bolt for whatever part you want to remove. Its just that its not a long term lubricant, if you use it to clean then you want to wipe it off and replace it with a lubricant. I prefer something more like the spray lithium grease where it will be a lottle bit water resistant.
