Re: [Amc-list] Fw: fan blower housing and license tag paint

[WILLIAM SERCKIE <realtorbill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I like to use " Greased Lightening", it is sold al all Walgreens stores and is usually in the laundry detergent isle.  It works well and will not harm plastic or fabric or even gasket material, but removes grease and other contaminants very well...and costs about  1.00 in the trial size.

Matt's right - I use a lot of both brake cleaner and carburetor cleaner
spray - they're powerful degreasers. And they're usually pretty
inexpensive! I use them mostly on cleanup of metal parts to be repainted.
Some brands are pretty "hot", and will attack old paint and some material,
like vinyl, plastic, etc. I'd try it cautiously on your blower housing. I
would think it would work fine, but....
