Hey guys, just wondering, is there some chemical method to clean the squirrel fan?
I wont be doing any blasting, just to head off the suggestion. I want to clean the fan with some sort of chemical as i think if i go after it with a wire brush i'll break fins (which is the whole reason i got a 'new' fan to begin with) Soooo, what do you guys recommend? I found a site that said DONT use lemon juice as it blackens it. I heard some 'no scrub' cleaner in a bath. Could I put it in the dishwasher after I remove the pulley? Thanks guys! |

Won't painting change the balance of the fan and everything behind it?
