Not really a great name...wasn't Ajax a type of toilet cleaner?
Back when I had a proper job I always use to misquote the saying...cheap, fast, good...pick one! Usually got me a laugh

Yes it was. Rival to Harpic in days of yore!
Scouring powder I believe. Or so my granny told me.

I remember Ajax came in a cardboard tube with a metal end that had holes punched in it to shake the powder out.

Awful stuff, destroyed any surface it was used on.

Don't worry too much, I was being a little deceptive, my granny would be about 130 years old now.......

Perfect name for a military bit of kit. As long as it’s clean, that’s all that matters….Not really a great name...wasn't Ajax a type of toilet cleaner?

I bet someone will come back with “I’ve still got some of that in the shed”Oh dear I must be old
Kitchen actually. Same with some Vim. From clearing my mum's house. She used Vim every day on the dinner knives - steel blades that corroded rather than rusted. Wasnt until I saw some untouched ones I realized how much metal she had worn away over the years. Originals were 6/7" long. Some of the ones left were 2-3" and wafer thin at the edge.

Back in the seventies, Maisey sold thousands of tractors to Iraq. Unfortunately the peasant farmers could not be convinced that diesel engines needed to be run in under heavy load, so they were always coming back smoking like trains and gutless after a couple of hundred hours. Standard fix. There was an old tractor with no wheels but still with stub axles. That was hooked up and driven across the desert for a couple of hours. If it hadn't improved, the air cleaner came off, engine started and a handful of ajax thrown in. Couple of minutes, stop drain oil, flush through and change oil again, then hook to the old skid, two hours towing through the desert again and good as new!
