IN SOME CASES I JUST USE WD-40 AND PAPER TOWELS ON METAL OR COMPOSITE (PAPER) CANS. BE SURE TO TRY A SPOT ON THE BACK OF A CAN FIRST TO EXPERIMENT WHAT IT WOULD DO TO THE LABEL....DON'T WANT TO RUIN A CAN! HAVE FUN. WELCOME TO OLDGAS! DOC @ THE AMERICAN GARAGE

I use Lanolin Hand Cleaner W/O Pumice [grit], work a small area w/o a lot of pressure, wipe clean & rinse w/ water & dry. DO NOT leave hand cleaner on over night. IF can has dents, I can remove most & re-lid. db Reproduction/Fantasy Cans http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p2/oldegaspump/AllCansMASTERTHUMBNAIL_zps4bfdbbc7.jpg Rnd Can Re-lids
