Two brief comments for Brian Reid at Stanford:

(1) Not being a rank amateur on solvents myself (I'm an analytical
    chemist), a "degreaser" which is usually tri- or tetra-chloroethane
    still seems to make more sense for the commuter-type cyclist use
    than an agent that you admit is "caustic to skin".  I'd be glad to
    further discuss solvent chemistry with you some time.

(2) There are a number of items, likes cars, tape decks and VCR's
    that users would like to take care of once and then not "worry with"
    for a year.  Unfortunately, my experience is that the world usually 
    doesn't work that way for these items or for bicycles.
