Going to jack up the car and get under on my new HF creeper to clean some grease. Since I'm gonna be breathing this stuff, I assume Simple Green is going to be sufficient along with a wire brush.
Any other thoughts on doing this ? |

Simple green works fairly well. I would also suggest the part cleaning brushes from HF (or your FLAPS). They are good for the nooks and crannies where a scraper just won't go.
I wouldn't spray any solvent on at all until you have scraped off as much as you possibly can by hand It also depends on just how clean you want it. If you are entering a concours, do yourself a favor and pull the drive train and put it up on a stand. Of course, that is a slippery slope, since you will be stricken with "while I'm in there" disease and it could be years before you drive it again. |
