I use a paint brush.Īny degreaser will work, but in these health an safety days using petrol whilst smoking a woodbine is probably not a good option. I suppose in Myford days they used hand-plucked pig bristle brushes but I imagine any common brush would do the job. Spray can degreaser or brake and parts cleaner from the auto store is probably the modern equivalent. Paraffin is Limey-speak for kerosene - not to be confused with paraffin wax.
