Winning! BTW, Menards has some cheapo brake cleaner on sale for a little over a buck a can. The stuff is invaluable for degreasing and paint prep.

Awesome, I just checked my amazon cart and I hadn't picked any carb cleaner. I'll have to go pick up a couple cans. Thanks for the tip.

Just cant spray or drip on anything you don't want to repaint this ---- works good not as harmful to paint if you dilute it a bit. http://www.superkleendirect.com/cast...per-clean.aspx
