I have the under-pans cleared. The last body area that I need to glear is the super grimey area where the engine and tranny used to be.
Is there anything that I can put on it to clean off the grime easily? I don't want to have to rinse off the metal with water. The entire car right now is bare metal until it gets warm enough to paint. Adding some chemical that I have to rise with water would be a nightmare. I'd rather lightly sand the body to clear flash rust then introduce water in my garage and really have rust start growing. But I also can't paint over greasy metal, either. Zach |

Oh yeah- as a ex-painter, one of the best tools I had was a pair of 1000W halogens work lamps. They draw a lot of power, but put out great light and HEAT... really improves conditions for painting if high humidity and low temps.
If you have lots of bare metal now...don't even bother touching it now unless you can really paint it with primer. W/o paint it will rust ASAP and you'll need to stat over in the summer. Good prep = decent paint job. Great prep = good paint job. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Attached image(s)
