 I am readying the suspension parts for painting, and getting the Mercasol undercoat and lots of old road grime off was easy enough using diesel fuel and a paint brush, but on some parts, like the brake shield, the diesel didn't really cut it. Old bearing grease is sticky stuff, apparently.

Brake cleaner didn't really do much, either. Lacquer thinner seemed make an impression, but I'm reluctant to using too much of that, not exactly good for anyone's health.

I am thinking a tub of hot water and a good sprinkle of dishwasher powder, waddaya think? Any experience to share? What does the pros use?
