Enamel reducer is what I used, this whole engine compartment had been rattlecanned during the 70's, Figuring it to be enamel I tried enamel reducer VIOLA.... FYI this is TEDIOUS AND NASTY work and must be done in a well ventilated area. IT TOOK 20 HOURS PLUS, however the original phosphates etc were beautiful, the car was certified survivor at the 07 Camaro Nationals.

Wow 7 years in June. BTW you did an amazing job cleaning and detailing the car while preserving the original finishes and stampings.Quote from: paceme on December 17, 2013, 03:18:17 PMQuote from: firstgenaddict on December 15, 2013, 06:53:54 AMEnamel reducer is what I used, this whole engine compartment had been rattlecanned during the 70's, Figuring it to be enamel I tried enamel reducer VIOLA....

The preservation work has continued.

I will tell you that if it is on fasteners they need to be removed to be cleaned correctly. I removed the engine compartment fasteners one at a time and soaked it in lacquer thinner then in cosmoline then re-installation into the EXACT PLACE IT WAS REMOVED. I DO NOT THINK THAT YOU CAN POSITIVELY REINSTALL IN THE EXACT LOCATION ANY OTHER WAY.
