I figured out that my rig was painted green with a spray can after looking at some of the items. Most if not all my parts, wiring, ETC. were also painted or over sprayed with paint. I have had some experience with regards to my heavy equipment on occasion being sprayed with graffiti. One day I was looking for some cleaning supplies when I came across an old friend of mine that I used to get rid of that graffiti. I have been experimenting with it lately and the results are amazing. I thought if would be a good idea to share my results with all of you.
First, lets start with this amazing product I am working with.

It tends to leave the existing plating intact without damaging any good plating that might be present without scratching it. Makes for a much better re-plating due to the lack of scratching to the existing part. It even works well if rattle can paint has been painted over good paint done with a gun without damaging it.
Nice...thumb.

If your not looking to go down the OCD rabbit hole like I am, It is a great product to refresh parts with. I give this product a million thumbs up. It saves a lot of time that's for sure.

Dave, I found your jack bracket and tool roll parts in my truck (the ones I was gonna clean while I was out in the desert. I think you should definitely try this stuff on them first.
And now for something completely different...
I put the flywheel on to spin the motor and got set to adjust the valves for the clearance check we talked about. Unfortunately, I cannot set your valves.
