Yeah, that's how good this stuff is. Not sure I'll ever use SimpleGreen again.
That little voice has been louder than usual this week. During my noon walk-about (in which I frequent the scrap pile also) I found a Tanker Desk sitting there on Thursday. It looked a little forlorn, and someone had treated it to a black rattle can paint job probably 30 years ago, so it looked rough.
Drove the van-find-hauler today and treated the desk ( a Globe-Wernicke model ) to a date with the steam-cleaner....since it did such a nice job removing the blue metallic paint from the CJ2-A.
It worked quite well, still had some places where the black stayed like a underlayer - the top glossy layer blew right off. And the desk top had some grungy staining that I just attributed to decades of sweat, coffee, and grime.
Then one of our guys walked by to see what I was up to, and asked if I had used his magic purple stuff.
Hmmm.....what magic purple stuff?
So he sprays a quick coat on the whole thing, I get distracted for 2-3 minutes, and when I came back 95% of the staining had dissolved. No scrubbing, it just melted.
And lots more of the black paint stuff blew off.
Neat stuff for sure. Appartently NAPA carries it, at least our local store does.
Oh, and crappy pictures of the desk. Hey, I was hurrying to finish government work.
