--> RV9-List message posted by: Brice Bowman <brice@earshotaudiopost.com>
Does anyone have any recommendations on a basic cleaner for bare alclad?
Just finished my empennage and wanted to clean it up before storing it away.
It will eventually be painted, so I don't want to use any wax...just get the
fingerprints and rivet gun oil splatter off. Everything I've tried so far
leaves nasty streaks. Any ideas would be appreciated.

While its nice to have things spotless, I wouldnt worry about it as long as
there is nothing on it that will attack the alclad, salt,acid or things like
that, water that has chemicals in it will cause problems. Most anything that
you use will leave something on the alumium which will have to be removed
with an acid etcing bath befor painting to give the alumium tooth for the
paint to stick. I would just use grease remover for paint that you can get
at the local auto body paint store. Boyd PS I used to paint airplanes for a
living years ago.

Steve: Good catch on my statement. I was trying to say something like "
Bear in mind that within two or three inches of the carb heat system is the
two two-inch cross over pipes with about 1,000 degree temp."
BTW: I handcrafted two heat shields to protect the non-metal part of the
carb heat system (don't know if this is necessary).
Sorry about the confusion. My computer is dying - it sometimes hangs up the
keyboard if it tries to do another task. I plan to buy the AnywhereMAP
system with an IPAQ. I am trying not to upgrade my PC until I'm flying.
Then I just might get a portable as my only other PC. Getting so close to
this point that I get really itchy at times. Good luck building! do not

Poly Fiber 310 cleaner is a good all purpose cleaner, easy to use and is
alkaline with no phosphates. I believe they originally marketed it to use as a
pre-paint cleaner.
