Technical Help loosening a taillight screw

There’s definitely a Blonde and light bulb joke hidden in this thread.
“How many…”?

I’ll go away now.

Actually I've always wondered about this too. What if you have a barn find with a perfect paint job underneath all the grit, grime, abrasive dust, etc. What's the best way to try to remove all this debris without damaging or scratching the perfect paint job underneath? In your opinion, what's the best thread so far that addresses this momentous issue?

 

Now I could be wrong, but I would use a garden hose, and a bucket of soapy water and a sponge. But what do I know?

Yeah, I occasionally do that to my DD. First blast with garden hose a few times to get most of the loose stuff off. But then no matter how often sponge is rinsed, it still easily picks up small gritty stuff. Becomes almost like a ScotchBrite sponge that leaves fine scratches without applying much elbow grease. They sorta buff out but not completely.

 

If I ever had a barn find, I would use a high pressure sprayer and lots of soap injected in the line.

 

Now we need a thread on how to convert a “Viola” to a Voila!!!!! LOL

 

This sounds like my kind of project. I look foward to folowing your build thread when you start it.

 

The wooden jig achieved two things...good support for maximum pressure and an anti twist brace...and the big hand driven screwdriver looks more fitting than the drill gun with what looks to be a Star/Phillips...but we'll see what he says...
