Subject: Re: Cleanup
I found a very effective degreaser right on my grocer and drug store
shelves. And it's so very cheap.. I usually pay about 25 cents per
bottle. Try plain old off-the-shelf rubbing alcohol. I don't use a
parts washer, so don't know how much you would need. I use a large
coffee can ..3 lb or so.. or a simple open pan. One or two bottles are
usually enough to cover most items. You can swish them around a little
or just let the part set for awhile and then swish it just a little
before removing. The part will air dry quickly
This has worked for me for both grease and brake fluid ... a wheel
cylinder can be cleaned like new in a jiffy. One thing to remember ...
the alcohol cleans so well that you need to lightly oil or paint
anything which is subject to rust.
