It removes very few oils, including landing gear hydraulic oil, engine oil, even fingerprint oil (really - try it), etc. Each item you clean should be carefully checked to make sure it has no insoluble contaminates on the surface, which is difficult to do. MC and MEK both are far more effective at cleaning and remove a broad spectrum of oils, etc. Boeing uses MEK last I heard. Since you are likely to be doing epoxy work afterwards anyway you'll need good ventilation either way.
