Default Aircraft Cleaner Wipes

My mechanic recently turned me on to Tub-O Towels. He was using it to not only clean his hands but to clean aircraft dirt, oil grease off of my aircraft.
I bought a tub at Lowes and tried it on the dirty bottom of my new to me RV-10. Well surprise surprise, this stuff works good. No more squirt bottle spray drifting down into my face when cleaning the bottom of the A/C. No more getting soaked from cleaning the bottom with soap and water.
So my initial reaction is great. Not a replacement for soap and water but it works very well. I have looked and didn't find any nasty stuff in the ingredients and it doesn't eat my hands up. What I did notice is that it is a degreaser so after using it I had to use hand lotion to restore a little oil to my hands that it had removed.

Here is the link to it at Lowes

The ad in the provided link says "removes paint"
Not sure that would be an appropriate cleaner!

Here's the MSDS from what I think is the same product listed at Menards. Which is also $3 less expensive.
