People doing miniature models came with it. It works wonders with metal parts, and stains porus or materials that will absorb stuff.

Have you even seen a stain in steel? I saw some heat stains, paint stain, rust stain. But nothing caused by chemicals. Same goes for cheap metal bodies and brake fluid. They are used mostly by model makers to start over a die-cast model the bought.

SuperClean is used in garages as an industrial de-greaser. It also have been found to have the nice propriety of reacting with the bonding component of most paint, making it flake off the plastic part, without leaving any stain or damaging the plastic. Same group of people that found it. Wear nitrile gloves though. It eats through latex and most metals. Natural rubber gloves (thick gloves) work too, but it is easier to manipulate the parts with thin gloves.
