BP Blaster is not a harsh or expensive chemical. Just a good cleaner, penetrant, and degreaser. Every one who works on bikes should have some. I prefer Kroil, but it stinks, so using it in the house gets me in hot water with the wife.
I would be careful where you spray penetrants as it can creep into areas that you do not want it, like bearings.
