[QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 3242288, member: 87404"]I've recently been "perfecting" cleaning Eastern European uncleaned lots of LRBs. So a couple weeks ago when an uncleaned Nero As came up from a well known Ebay seller, I had to bid. Turned out, I was the happy new owner of this... [ATTACH=full]848929[/ATTACH] I wanted to try out my hand at more in depth manual cleaning, and was actually really excited to find out what was under that crud. I started out with a few days in DW and a first pass with a cut toothbrush. Then back in the DW. Did this another time, but then added onto it with some mechanical cleaning with dental pick and Andre crayons. So that was repeated every 3 days for about a week and a half until I felt petty good about where I ended up getting to.
