I have always used Acryli-Clean for the final "wash". It is manufactured by
Ditzler. Comes in gallon cans. Body shops use it as a wax and grease
remover.
I think another name brand of this type solvent/compound is Prep Sol.
Probably
not any better for you to breathe than starting fluid but probably cheaper.
I suppose
the starting fluid (ether not charcoal starter) is more convenient because
it comes
in pressurized spray cans. Couldn't one just load up something like a lawn
chemical
spray bottle with some "Acryli-Clean", pump up the sprayer and start
spraying?
CRC Chemicals brake clean or equivalent would do the same thing. The
important
point is to use something that leaves no film behind. Denatured Alcohol is
another
one that would do the job, it's available at farm supply, fleet supply type
stores.

AMC content;   I bought one of those re-pop rear license plate lights for a
70 Javelin from
some guy on e-bay for about $15.00. It looks like the real thing and all but
the distance
between the two mounting holes is off just enough that both screw holes
don't match
the bumper holes. Does anybody know the history of this repro part? Is it
something
from Mopar? What did you guys do to get past this little problem?
Thanks,

Armand
