I have been dismantling my '74 car prior to getting it painted etc.
The car sat in the high CA desert for many years and is profoundly dirty - sand and dust coating everything and everywhere. I have done a lot of wiping and vacuuming but its still dirty - touch it anywhere and you come away with really nasty hands. Whats the best way to clean it enough so that I actually feel I'm working on a car rather then in a farmyard? Is brake cleaner OK everywhere, is there a better way (considering its indoors on jackstands so a hosepipe might present 'issues')? |

i have the same problem ... the car is just dirty everywhere and there is no way to clean it right ...
the "compressed air" approach only works for lose dirt, but most of the stuff is sticking to the paint and won't come off with compressed air. and of course all that in hard to get to corners ... i can't even begin to tell you how much that bugs me ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Andy |
