Just want to give a quick update to my build for my follower's and thanks for following. My choice for cleaning up the castings is a product named Superclean. It's also sold at Home Depot by ZEP called Purple Power. I do about 6-8 vehicles at a time, so I throw 'em in a plastic tray and spray the Superclean on them. I use gloves I buy at Harbor (Horror) Freight to protect my hands because it will take a layer of flesh off.  Scrub 'em with an old tooth brush, then wash 'em good with clean water and let 'em air dry over night.

I use a tea strainer to hold the little bits like wheels and tires so the don't get lost while cleaning. I'll just soak everything down with the cleaner and wash the strainer out under the faucet till the cleaner foam is gone.
