Yeah? Why's that? You know something I've missed?
I suggested BRAKE KLEEN, not carb cleaner. That stuff might even get the
urathane to lift.

Mike-- that is the cleaner that has acetone, MEK and other goodies in a spray
can available at WalMart or NAPA right?
Just do no not get it on the paint.

Douche that bad boy with Brake Kleen, not the safe stuff, the evil old
fashoned kind that really works. A case should do the trick and it WILL clean
out any thing.

Leroy I too cleaned my radiator recently and did the best I could without
taking the thing out. I noticed some paint had flaked off but opted not to
repaint because even though I cleaned it out as best I could I am not
confident that it is clean enough to paint. I'd be worried the paint would
combine with any dirt/soap residue left behind and clog the fins up.
