[BCMA] Advice for removing oil/grime from large piece of equipment

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Although a coating not a paint, I thought I would send along this suggestion - I have used Fluid Film Rust & Corrosion Preventive with great results on a winch the Museum has outdoors.  Funny you just sent this through as I have been planning a work group to get busy on the winch again this year.

Hi

I'm curious if anyone has any recommended suggestions for affordable products or services for cleaning oil/grime/grease/rust from large pieces of historic equipment?

We have a large stationary piece of equipment on site which includes a large motor and oil tank. We are looking to clean up and paint the piece. There are also a few very corroded brass fixtures on the piece. The piece is also fixed to a large concrete block which is also very grimy in places.

Soda blasting specifically was mentioned as an option and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this?

Thanks

Diane
