Bolt bath

I had been cleaning all the bolts I've been pulling off the 280z with a wire wheel and wire brushes.  The problem with this approach is that it can be destructive to the corrosion plating.  I happened upon an easier way to clean the grime off these bolts and hardware: a simple soak in concentrated Simple Green.

Grimy bolts need to be cleaned.

Soak the dirty bolts in Simple Green for an hour or more.  I use an old toothbrush after 30 minutes to loosen up the grime. 

After a rinse in water and a towel dry, the bolt is clean and dirt free!
