I checked their website and none of the stores listed are in Hawaii.  Anybody knows what's in the bottle?  Maybe another similar product will work.

I will send you a picture of the bottle I purchased.

Wow- that LAs Totally Awesome is really affordable! Found it at my local Dollar Tree Store. About $1 per 64 ozs. Going to try it on a disassembled petcock first.

I looked at the bottle, there isn't any ingredients posted but I found this

Sorry about the delay.

Me again. Of course, this topic is of high interest to me, with the 78 in pieces and soaking in everything from mineral spirits to old flat Budweiser. I do in fact love the Berryman's, and since it is so stinky it gets used out of doors, but man does it get everything sparkly clean! Great for small parts, with the little basket-in-a-can, but kind of pricey if you want to fill a wash tub for the big parts.

So I followed the consensus and bought three gallons of the LA Totally Awesome. Gonna go soak the rear sprocket and disk brake mount, and see how it works. Impartial review forthcoming

I've tried every recipe listed in this thread and can say with authority that Mark's magic elixir is the best. Again, outdoor use only due to possible toxic fumes.

Berrymans works great, but the stank is hella nasty.

I'm on the lookout for Totally Awesome!

I second that, it works great!

Just did my rear chain with that stuff in an ultrasonic and it was wicked good at cleaning it.

Plus one on Berrymans.

Dollar store (Dollar Tree in New England).

I tried out my 3l Harbor Freight ultrasonic on my carbs, with TA 50/50 with water...

Worked pretty good.

Well, after a weekend of scrubbing and soaking, I've come to my own humble opinion. I'm sticking with Berryman's all the way. Sorry, but that LA Totally Awesome stuff is severely lacking in the wow factor, and I'm using it undiluted. Everything I've soaked in the Berryman's comes out spotless, mostly even without any brushing, just wipe off. So for what I have left to do, I'll be buying another gallon of the chem dip and filling a soaking tray to go along with the small parts basket. Of course, all my cleaning is being done outside in the shade, rather than inside the garage. It's definitely stanky.

Again, this is my humble opinion, nothing else. Good luck and keep the shiny side up!

Berrymans is great stuff and I've used it for years.  Ambient temp dip that's it.
For hot sonic agitation though TA works better for me because it's cheap and doesn't stink.
Running it full strength though is counter intuitive because the solution becomes too heavy to cavitate well, which is what cleans the parts.

To further muddy the waters (pun intended) I know there is a Berrymans formula that is intended for ultrasonic cleaners, not the gallon pail cleaner from the auto parts store. It has an oil boundary layer or something I believe.
