I am just about done converting 2 kegs. I have the tops cut off and holes drilled. I'm just working on cleaning them up a little bit more now.
Last night I soaked them in warm PBW for ~1.5-2 hours each and went after them with a scotchbrite pad. The insides cleaned up really nice but the outside leaves a lot to be desired. I'm not looking for anything near what Bobby_M has done in the keg polishing thread, just something generally clean.
There seams to be a bunch of old glue residue stuck on the sides of both kegs all the way around. Even after the PBW soak the scotchbrite pad barely put a dent in it. Its very sticky and gross looking. Any suggestions on how to try cleaning it up? I was thinking of a few possible ideas: Paint thinner, 120 grit flap wheel (will this scratch the finish up a lot?), Goo gone, stainless steel wire wheel (expensive).
Any other ideas?
