Looking at Jerry's photos of the work being done on the 473, in particular the one showing the workman grinding away on something while next to the trailing truck, has made me realize how much crud gets built up on the frame, running gear, etc.

How is this stuff cleaned off?

How often does it get cleaned off?

I hope it gets cleaned off before a fresh paint job.
