Pap and Grand-dad used a steam jenny with something called "49-S Compound", which was lye based. Of coures, it removed a lot of paint as well as oil, grease, grime, and dirt.

Then the non-sheet-metal parts of the tractor were gone over with a putty knife and a wire brush [and a pocketknife to get into nooks and crannies] prior to any sanding or paint work.

I'm guessing the old steam jenny is obsolete these days, and the "environmentally-correct police" have probably forced them to take 49-S off the market. I mean, how do you contain and dispose of the runoff water?
