Depends on what you're cleaning, though.

Peanut butter!

Yep, works GREAT, wont make your hands smell bad either, and OK to EAT!!

I Recommend doing this cleaning with a glass of milk on the side aswell.

I bought a header that had been heat wrapped and that thing was caked with russy discoloration. It was a pain but it came out. Used high speed drill with wire brush spindle and sand bits. After used polish bit and compound. Lie U said mine was caked but it turned out awesome. I'll see if I can get you some pics up.
