10T RPM parts cleaning

Quote

Post by Kayne » Sat Oct 23, 2010 2:13 pm

I got a 10T coming in with a bunch of crusty white rpm parts on it. What is the best way to clean these parts? I know the peroxide bath is out of the question. Any and all ideas would be appreciated.

It was mentioned in one thread that he used Greased Lightning to clean his white parts. That "may" work.

Avoid any heavy degreasers and detergents, they just turn the parts yellow. Dawn dish liquid and
cold water is the safest

I use a solution of warm water and clorox kitchen/bath cleaner...very diluted. And a ton of elbow grease...

Im having a little trouble corraling some Stock White Arms for my 10T Resto, and getting quite impatient. Were the RPM Arms available when the 10T was in production?

oxy clean and warm water always works. just make sure you wear some rubber gloves. that stuff could be irritating under the skin, if you have your hands in it for a while.

if you have oil or other greasey crap on the part, clean it off first....

I'm guessing vintage yokomo magnesium parts need to be treated with some care.
Does anyone have any advice for cleaning these bits up or are they best left as is, with a nice protective oxidised layer on the surface?
Thanks.

Years ago, I used a wire wheel and it gave the parts a nice look...a little on the shiny side. After a couple of months sitting in the basement, they had a white film on them because the newly poured concrete vented a lot of moisture. I re-polished...

I took some old white parts and put them in the silverware basket of my dishwasher. Then I used some dishwasher soap that had some oxidizer mixed in. The parts came out great. Just be carefull to make sure the parts won't fall through the basket.
