C4 cleaning

What's everyone using to clean and shine up the aluminum C4 parts and has anyone completely broken down the parts behind the disc? Seems to need a special bit to separate.

Cool Re: C4 cleaning

Ricott thanks for the reply. Yes I see you used some type of "star" socket to fit those 4 bolts holding everything together. Where did you find that socket?Love your son's 66 as I had a 67 400 with factory air,Hurst dual gate, black vinyl top with silver paint.Sold it after the big D and included two 3 duce manifolds with carbs( pre 67) all for 1600. Haven't seen it since! Would love to have it back.

Re: C4 cleaning

Just a note about the torx bolts on the early vette suspension, they are t55 torx and not hex.

Re: C4 cleaning

this is approximately the same stuff, available at Home Depot for around $20/gal. I but a few of the big hand pump spray bottles at the same time. The chemical will eventually kill the orings in the sprayer pump, but it takes awhile.

This also kills rust dead.
