Removing overspray from wiring.
 

I have some primer overspray on wiring. Any suggestions for the best way to remove the overspray and clean the wiring up? Thanks for the help.

I've used carb cleaner on a shop rag more times than I can count, and it works great. I would advise testing it in an inconspicuous place first to make sure it doesn't discolor the sheathing.

Works great for cleaning up grimy sparkplug wires too.

Lacquer thinner on a rag works great.

Please make sure you guys wear good quality rubber gloves when you are playing with this stuff and I mean good quality. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

Whatever you use to clean the over spray off with please dispose of the shop towels properly. I have been to more garage fires in my 20 years on the city fire department caused by rags than I care to remember.Seen a pair of 63 corvetes burn on night together after a guy was cleaning them for winter storage.

Sometimes a shot of 'Easy-Off' oven cleaner sprayed onto a shop rag works good for removing paint while leaving the cleaned items themselves unscathed..
As above, careful w/ disposal and touching/breathing this stuff..

If you use Easy-Off, be sure to use eye protection!!

G0-JO works pretty good on removing overspray on most rubber products also.

Acetone works good too, doesnt seem to dry out the wiring like lacquer thinner.
