I bought a GI milsurp shoulder strap to use with some Czech milsurp shoulder bags that came without the strap. It had the commonly found green anti-corrosive crud on it.
Does anyone have a good way to remove this crud without removing the finish on the metal parts? I tried 90% alcohol as a solvent and it didn't do as well as I hoped.
I've had plenty of problems with this crud over the years. If you're going to use whatever it's on, it needs to come off, because it will stain whatever it touches. I usually wind up using wire brushes and damaging the finish of the coated parts to get that crap off.
