"Hi! I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Now Andy's preparing the brake calipers for the application of the paint on them. He starts by just using lacquer thinner; real aggressive cleaner to get all the oil off of the brake calipers. Part of the casting process, they put everything in oil to keep it from rusting. So, oil and paint don't work together so we have to clean them really carefully. The cleaning will be several steps, the first one is using this lacquer thinner; and he'll do this twice to it with the lacquer thinner and then get on to the other cleaners."
