I've come across some guns in desperate need of cleaning but the crudiest thing I ever got was a guitar. Couldn't see it in the pix but when it came outta the box it looked like the fretboard was just massively string worn. Then I realized that the grooves were in the accumulated deposit on the wood. I don't know what it was and I'm pretty sure I don't even want to know what it was but I wore vinyl gloves and scrubbed it clean with alcohol. The whole guitar.
I always find it puzzling(?) that someone would sell a crusty gun but then I suppose that it's just a normal state to them. The spray can brake cleaner stuff is super for blasting off the nasties but it will eat wood finishes so .............. I never use volatile fluids around anything electric so kerosene in the sonic or one of the citrus cleaner concentrates.
