Let it seat for 15 min, and use a red scotch brite... May need to repeat if needed... use additional tools if desired (toothbrush) -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

yeah, just swung by advanced, and 2 of the reps suggested that i just use "parts cleaning" miniral spirits, said that it would not eat rubber or paint. and be safe to run in a cleaner with a pump, (and not just a soke tank) and let the part sit in the tank w/ the pump on and a little scrubbing should do the trick... all of the parts cleaning solutions that they had in stock at advanced were excesivly caustic, even the water based purple power. being sunday the only place around that has the parts cleaning miniral spirits (napa) was already closed (small town, they closed at 2 on sunday)
 anyone els got expierience with other solutions? looking for safe for paint and rubber.. -------------------- |
