sjordan2 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Stripping my Mercedes, Part Deux: I am now stocked up on Dawn Power Dissolver and Simple Green. Do I spray either of them on, or submerge them? How long do I leave them on the part? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 Many thanks, Dave. I was hoping you would respond to this post. I did the Easy-Of method in a glad plastic tub with no results, so I'll try the Ziploc route this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 My wife buys sliced turkey (low sodium) at Wal-Mart that comes in little plastic containers. They have a red lid. After she's done with them I get them. They work great as little purple ponds, Dawn PD, or Simple Green containers. The lids seal tight.

Harry P. Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Walmart also sells cheap, semi-disposable "Tupperware-like" plastic containers with snap-on lids in various sizes. I bought a set of three, big enough to fully submerge a 1/24 scale body, for a buck or two. Dollar stores also have plastic containers like these... they're perfect for stripping model parts, and they're dirt cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the plastic containers with the red lids, but WHO gets the turkey??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjordan2 Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 GRATITUDE TO DAVE ZINN. Thanks again, Dave. I put the parts in a Ziploc, bathed in Dawn Power Dissolver, and it worked like a charm in less than 2 days. A couple of remaining areas went away with an application of Meguiar's Scratch-X, and the parts now are a perfect match for the unpainted main body shell. I see that Meguiar's has just introduced a restorer for plastic dash parts, and I'll have to look into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
