REFLECTOR: Oil removal for paint prep

[Scott Derrick]

Like Kurt I first used Castrol Super Clean, its a great cleaner for
non-aluminum planes. I flushed with lots of water.

Then I used the cleaner that was one of the paint components for
Awlgrip, followed by alcohol .  Most paint systems have a specific
cleaner specified.

If your systen doesn't specify one,  MEK is a pretty good cleaner,
absolutely use gloves and a respirator if your in a closed space.
