I told him about these a month ago.
He just doesn't know it's take you so long to pack them. lol
But it is fun to watch him freak out again.

I'd be happy to trade you the items you wanted for a jug of that stuff.

I dont know if my jug of "stuff" is the same but after testing it out since I got it.. all I can say is WOW this stuff is a miracle... My lates test went as such... I tested 10 chips (two of each color) I soaked them in the stuff straight up overnight and when I took them out they were almost perfectly clean I rinsed them and used a walmart special electric toothbrush ($6) on them to get a few reamining in the groove hangers and WOW they look fantastic.. no ill has happened to the hotstamps or the chip... I will finish this up and post some pics later.. (oh ya btw after the soak I finished the clean on these 10 chips in less than 3 mins)

Now, I noticed none of those OP chips had inlays. Think it will eat away an inlay? Those bacteria can get in the darndest places...

Good question... every chip I have cleaned has been hotstamped.. in fact now that I think about it.. other than single collectibles all I own are hot stamped... cherries... grands... engdahls.. hmmmm I must have a hot stamp fetish! BTW I (my kid cleaning crew and I) am still averaging about 30 secs per chip after about 1500 chips cleaned! (that doesnt include oiling them)

How does it compare to the chip cleaner at HPC.com (performance vs price)?

I don't know yet.
When I try it I will post here.

Also bought a Kroger (store brand) electric tooth brush for 3.99 batteries included.

Edit OP
Do not soak longer then 24 hrs the hot stamp will brush off.

I don't know how it would work on chips, but if I need to clean grease, oil paint or other tough stuff off my hands, I use Avon Skin So Soft. It works great. The main ingredients are:

Mineral oil
Isopropyl palmitate
Dicapryl adipate

Even a dash of carrot seed oil!

Pretty sure it would clean the grime off a chip, don't know if it would hurt a chip though.
