Mustang Build Sheet Restoration/Clean up

This is a quick how-to on cleaning up that build sheet I found hidden under the carpet for 45 years.  I had read this tip years ago in one of my Mustang magazines and didn't believe it to be true until I tried it myself.

Here is the buildsheet up close.  Stained and almost illegible.  The trick is to use wax and grease remover.  The bottom left corner is where I tested it. 

Here is the setup.  I had some Wax and Grease remover/Pre Cleaner left over from when I painted the last Mach 1.  Bought a cheap cookie pan from the dollar store.

As soon as the paper hits the solvent the stains just start lifting off.  (Just like in the Tide commercial!)  Video Below shows how quickly it happens

After just a few minutes, the paper is just about cleaned up.  All ink and even the crayon mark stayed in place!

Finished Product.  While not perfect, much more legible.  It will join the original invoice and Marti Report in the safe!
