Hi all.


I bought a batch of short streamline wires recently. I wanted them for the clevises only and want to clean the wires and sell them. They are in good shape but have grime and also residue from electrical tape on them that has been there many years.


Its going to take lots of elbow grease...but i'm wondering what else i should and shouldn't use to get them looking good. They are short enough i can soak them in a pvc tube.


Thanks.
