Title: Best Cleaner
Post by: rich gorrill on December 07, 2013, 08:27:00 AM: What's best for cleaning up castor and fuel residue before a repaint? I tried windex but it doesn't seem right. Has anyone tried ammonia and water or vinegar and water? I don't want to start painting with dope and have it not stick.

Thanks

Rich
