I have had this tin sign with wood frame for a while and just decided to clean it with the help of my dad. It was used in a gas station for a cabinet door and still has the the hinges and door handle on it. It still had the original cosmolene wax paper stuck to it. Super hot soapy water and a few hours took it right off and about a pound of dirt and grime.

That came out really good. What did you use to clean it?

Hot soap and water and worked the paper stuff off with my hands. Worked awesome but I think I got lucky.
