Hi there! Here is an example of the question: "How far do you go when 'restoring' something"? The two pictures here clearly show the damage that water has done to the swell case, so do I take water to "clean" it up? If not, do I leave it dirty?
In this case (no pun intended) I decided to take the lesser route. I have vacuumed off all of the oxidized paint and dirt that I can scrape with the vacuum brush and left whatever I couldn't remove.
The picture on the left is of the top of the swell case. There is clearly still about 30 years worth of dirt there, but to remove any more, I would have to use water. The picture on the right shows what water does to this paint. So, I guess I will say that the dirt is "historical" also.
