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')?

Unless it is in your livingroom put some wheels under it and role it out. A preasure

washer will do the job nicely.
