[SEL] Engine Cleaner?

[Steve Royster]

Brian, I like to use a 50/50 mix of kerosene and detergent motor oil and 
soak it as long as possible and then use a soft brush dipped in the same 
until you get to the original paint, then stop, spray it down with pure 
kerosene and let it dry. then I use a 50/50 mix of turpentine and boiled 
linseed oil to preserve the finish. CAUTION, even with this method 
pinstriping will disappear before your eyes so when you get to an area of 
striping work around it and then carefully do the striped areas last. Steve
