cleanup prep of engine bay

Oven cleaner probably works like the guys say, but the fumes and toxicity are murder..........I just can't take it..........

I use Simple Green (and/or Purple Power) after scraping off everything that will come with a small putty knife.........if you spray and let it set, then spray again and scrub with a scrub brush and a little water (a little....), you'll get great results..........

After this, follow up with a quick respray and general scrubbing again on the whole area, rinse well with a hose, and you're ready to wipe it all down withn lacquer thinner as recommended before...........Then you can sand chipped areas and not ruin your paper or spread a lot of grease around........

Final wipe with lacquer thinner or a prep solvent and paint it........(and wear GLOVES..........good rubber gloves!) Do NOT take a short cut........DO IT RIGHT and it'll last a LOOOOOOOONG time. 8)
