Whats the MSDS on this? What disease does this cause?
Chemical Guys CLD_1010 - All Clean All Purpose Cleaner & Degreaser
No MSDS is available to me...But:
According to Chemical Guys their
"All Clean APC & Degreaser" is a:
Surfactant based cleaner that contains wetting agents
(Sounds like some gobbledygook/double-speak the Government uses!)
Which surfactant(s) and which wetting Agent(s) is unknown to me at this time.
Definition of Surfactants:
-Compounds that lower the surface tension between two liquids or between a liquid and a solid.
-
Surfactants may act as detergents,
wetting agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, and dispersants
Types of Surfactants: Nonionic, Anionic, Cationic, Zwitterionic, even Hydrotropes
LISTs OF SURFACTANTS

Wetting agent:
-A chemical agent that allows a liquid to spread more easily across or into a surface by lowering the liquid's surface tension
-
Wetting agents can be surfactants; conversely: surfactants can be weting agents.
An Example: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
Health Risks:
In the same way as it dissolves the grease on car engines,
sodium lauryl sulfate also
dissolves the oils on your skin, which can cause a drying effect.
It is also well documented that it denatures skin proteins, which causes not only irritation,
but also allows environmental contaminants easier access to the lower, sensitive layers of the skin.
Perhaps most worryingly,
SLS is also absorbed into the body from skin application.
Once it has been absorbed, one of the main effects of
sodium lauryl sulfate is to mimic
the activity of the hormone Oestrogen. This has many health implications and may be responsible
for a variety of health problems, from PMS and Menopausal symptoms, to dropping male fertility
and increasing female cancers such as breast cancer, where oestrogen levels are known to be high.

APC's/cleaning products' chemicals don't paint a pretty picture by any means.
I recommend to be responsible, and prudent, in their usage.
