Hi Jeff, I'm not sure. What you can do is to take a new pin, polish it with Flitz and check it with a clean towel or rag and naptha. My guess is that you'll find the residue on it. I've never had a problem using McLube on anything (except for the somewhat noxious odor) and I find that it does make a considerable difference when you're removing excess friction. Your mileage may vary. Tom >On Aug 2, 2006, at 7:37 PM, Fred Sturm wrote: > >>>After polishing the pins with Flitz, he recommends >>> >>>cleaning the pin with naptha before applying McLube.
