I will try and post a tute on the cleaning of the machine as soon as possible.
I am trying to finish a pair of 1932 Fords for a guy and his wife before June and I am hauling you know what trying to get the final things done before the end of the month. But right now they are getting the interiors put in and I still have to go and pick up the Garnish moldings in Knoxville, some more plated parts in Nashville and then I am still working on the small details like painting the hoods and buffing them out. (he changed his mind on the type of hood he wanted)
But here is a quick synopsis of cleaning a machine.
After pulling all of the plates off of the machine including the tensioner, bobbin winder, belt guard if it comes off, and the Handwheel, you can give the mechanics a good Kerosene bath trying not to get too much on the finish. Afterwards the Go Jo cleaning with cotton balls and Q-Tips, thoroughly oil the machine (anywhere metal touches metal) then hit it with the Scotts Liquid Gold in the pour bottle and its a new machine!
And if you want to clean the plated parts use SemiChrome or Mothers Mag Wheel Polish.
