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 |

Go to Napa auto parts and get a *(&t load of brake cleaner - if you have a AAA card you get a discount - It's well under $3 a can. I am cleaning up an old Volvo and this stuff is awesome, my 27 year old car looks NEW.
