I am working on a motor swap and want to clean up the frame and what ever I can get too while the motor is out. What and how is a good way to remove general build up from the frame and other painted surfaces. The paint is in good shape so I just want to clean the surface, don't need to get to bare metal.

Thanks,
Charlie

A simple degreaser, Castrol, Simple Green, Dawn dish soap, etc... and a power washer. Car washes also work great for this since they have hot water, or find someone with a steam cleaner. Joe

I used spray on degreaser and a putty knife. For the tough spots a little acetone and 3M pads with lots of elbow grease. Lots of old disposable rags to soak up the mess.
