Yeah depending on the strength. I'm sure gloves would be a good idea no matter what strength is used.

I'm gonna be doing this next week, I have a pressure washer, brake cleaner, plenty of WD-40, and if necessary I guess I'm gonna go get some aviation paint remover. Where is that sold?

Got the little frame project as done as its gonna be. Wasn't able to remove all the grease but got most of it. Went back over the frame with some rustoleum gloss black. It looks ok, but I could have done a better job. I was just completly sick of dealing with it and want to just move on to putting the truck back together. It makes a complete mess everywhere but here is the best way I came up with getting the frame clean. You need at least a 4000psi power washer with a 15* tip. Soak the frame in wd-40 several times for about 30 minutes to an hour. Hit it with the pressure washer hard, about 95% will just blow right off the frame and all over the driveway/garage. Go back over it with brake clean and a towel. I pitty anyone who tackles this job, it's nasty. You'll need the pressure washer again to clean the driveway/garage. I just blew all this **** out into the street. My neighbors love me.

I've finally got everything removed thats not going back on and have it clean enough that its ready to go back together. Finally. I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow.

Skin contact: Yes it eats your skin . . . extremely toxic. It will give off some fumes too.

It's also called H2o Off. . . it's a pink gell, spead it on with a brush, then let it sit for 5 min or so, take it off with a putty knife.

Ha, I take it you like that **** too.

Note to self and anyone else who wants to pay attention: If you want to do the whole frame cleaning thing............do it before the cage goes in. If not for the benefit of you chassis builder, for the benefit of yourself not having to do it on your back.
