I'll talk about it. The N.Z. Army had a "triche" bath in the recon shop in Trentham camp. It was magic. As I lowered the Landy (or 300 Bedford) engine block into it, the grease/gunge/paint just instantly disappeared , leaving a completely clean dry engine block. Never seen anything like it since.
The tank had a manifold of water running around the outside of it, and the hot "trichloroethylene"condenced at the level of the manifold.- A line above which nothing happened, but from that line down, everything was clean bare metal.
I didn't know it was "bad' stuff. Maybe thats why when I was discharged, my x-ray showed a problem with my lymph nodes.(nov. 1977)
