Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion I GOT LUCKY (Can Cleaning)

I recently won this 5 pound INVADER grease can on Ebay. I think it went super cheap ($5.65) because it was somewhat dirty and stained from the product inside. The seller packed it in some kind of soft fluffy material which may've buffed it on the ride over from PA LOL!

I was happy to get it cheap and add a new size can to my ever growing INVADER collection. I used WD40 and Meguire's cleaner wax first...both were very slow with the cleaning process. Then I thought to try some gasoline I keep in a quart can just for cleaning. I worked quite easily, fast and I then had a nice gleaming can (despite a few bumps).

GASOLINE! Don't recall that ever mentioned when can cleaning! Who'da thunk it?

Yes, gasoline works quite well at cutting grease. In my youth while working on cars that's all I ever used for cleaning parts.

Good looking can.

looks brand new again & cheap..

I've used gasoline before with success. I might be overly cautious, but I always used it outside.

Now Wax it with Zymol, it will shine so much you will need to wear Sunglasses when you look at it!!!

Doc it looks great. Zymol does work good for a blinding shine

Myself, I pee on it after using gas, then smoke a cigar and admire my handiwork.

Now THATS funny.

Ok where does one find Zymol? If you go to their website - unless I have the wrong one - its like 100's of dollars a can or something like that. (I was at the website last Wednesday when the other thread mentioning this first started.) I think ACE hardware caries a clean wax so are you talking this or their pure wax. John

I buy mine at any of the local parts stores here in town
even Wally world carries it $14.00 bucks a bottle I use to wax my pickup and the Harley.

WALLY WORLD?

Wal-Mart.........

OKIE DOKIE SMOKIE! I call it Mal-Wart.

PICKED UP SOME OF THE CLEANER POLISH IN QUESTION....

ZYMOL.


MY BUDDY IS USING IT IN THE BACKGROUND ON A FENDER. HE DIDN'T SAY HOW HE FELT ABOUT IT, BUT I USED IT ON A GOODYEAR FLYING SHOE AND DID LIKE IT.

I used it on one of my Mustangs on Monday and Loved the Results!!

A few people have told me that Turtle Wax makes the stuff for Zymol?

Works great for cans and signs.

How is one supposed to pronounce it, DOC?

GOT 1 in mail today washed in gas then I pee on it smoke a cigar, waxed it with the wax then kicked back and admired my work.
Just had to bring it back to top, I allmost rolled off the chair laughing.

Do ya rinse the pee before waxing?
Or just let dry while smokin the stogie?

Air dry, with cigar smoke blowed its direction. WORKED GREAT.

That sounded like a perhaps serious question from one who at times likes to discuss things in person.He addressed Doc.Otherwise I'll give it a shot later.

I just got done waxin my King Ranch truck. Second time in three weeks. I'm a polishing fool...!
