I need some advice. I have a '68 camaro. I'm going to refinish the engine compartment, wheel wells and frame this winter. The underside of the car and the engine compartment have never been really cleaned in 43 years. The grease fittings on the tie rods are caked with grime and grease. I'm not looking to protect the finish since I'm repainting everything once it's clean. I need something to clean it all off and not leave a residue so the paint will stick. Any ideas or suggestions? i'm thinking of using oven cleaner and then pressure wash it first, then wiping it all down with paint thinner before painting a primer and finish coat.
