Cleaning hubs and assorted wheel and suspension parts...

I know there has been bad exprience with cleaning alum and mag cases with simple green, but what about soaking hubs and similar stuff in it? I need to remove some serious grime before bead blasting (if it is necessary following grime removal). Any other solvent suggestions for this? I have access to buckets of good stuff at work...

Thanks!

for grime ( = greasey, non-polar crud) use a solvent tank

for polar type stuff ('dirt') use a strong detergent

I wouldn't soak anything in S Green or Castrol Purple (which removes paint BTW) spray it on scrub and rinse off w/o waiting very long. See how things look.

Think about soda blasting or plastic beads for a real new look.

Hot water and elbow grease are like magic.

Product "Oil-flow" works well and is not aggressive....takes cosmoline off rather well, etc...
