Right, well about the caps... 
   
   
   
   

As you can see, whomever owned this thing before did some extensive work on it and although I know what you're going to say next, I'm dreading having to go through each and every one to double check their work...

As for cleaning, I've been using 99% IPA for most of the cleaning. I really don't like using aerosols, as it seems no matter how careful I try and be, I always end up spattering on something that shouldn't be spattered on and leaving a discolored mark somewhere.. that being said I do believe I have a can of Nu-trol somewhere in the "fire make go boom" cabinet at the shop if IPA is out of the question.
