<VV> Advice - cleaning solution for suspension before paint

[Mark Durham]

Joe, just some paint thinner should cut the grease, but will leave a film.
Do not spray water into/under your ball joint seals.

I use cheap Walmart brake cleaner spray cans to get the film off of parts,
it evaporates and does not leave a residue. DON'T BREATHE THE STUFF.
