Some of my older machinery ('03-'05 vintage) will be taken to my summer home shop. I want to clean the tools up for the trip. They are covered with saw dust and dust (dirt). What can I clean them with? I tried windex and 409 which works pretty good but it looks like they really need a bath with the pressure washer as it's gonna take gallons to get all of the dirt washed and wiped off. Dumb idea? Or what about brake clean?
Second, how would you store them to keep from rusting and getting dirty again? Colorado is low humidity so rust is probably not a problem like here. Just wax the tables and cover with blankets?
Thanks
