Do you hose the oven cleaner off or simply wipe it down with a sponge or something? Looks great; just hoping to get a better understanding of the process.

Question regarding the #7 application; after seeing this post I thought I'd try it on my black Corvette. I read the back panel and it said not to allow the stuff to dry on the paint. I thought I had read where you left it on overnight; is that true and did that create problems with removal?

Easy off works great on grease and carbon build ups, it is slightly acidic (easily neutralized with water) which will also cut through some rust.

Great posts Darrell. Enjoying your progress. Your father would be happy. On a personal note, your father was always very nice to me, as well as your uncle, Archie. Very knowledgeable and always enthusiastic.
